OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I'm going to be disappointed if the main character controls like Niko did.  I don't want to have to "drive" my character.

It was maddening to control him inside a building.

A new Red Dead preview and video on IGN (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/106/1063311p1.html).  Holy shit, this one looks good.

This game looks phenomenal.  Watching some of the fights and UI layout, you can definitely see the similarities to GTA IV, but it looks like everything is a lot smoother in this one.  Too bad it isn't out until the end of April.

This game is getting amazing reviews.  Who's getting it and wants to round up a posse?  I got it with the Buy.com deal, so I probably won't have it in my hands for a week or so.

I'll probably be trading in Splinter Cell and another game or two so I can pick it up.  It looks incredible.

Excellent.  I absolutely loved the first one, and everything I've read about this one sounds awesome.  Hopefully I'll have it by the weekend.

Curse your stupid faces.  I'm sure you were watching Hawks/Lost/Cubs last night, but did anyone play this yet?

Let me know when you run out of Kleenex.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

I've played three or four missions, and it's pretty awesome so far.  It definitely has that "Grand Theft Auto in the Wild West" feeling to it, but there are plenty of things that make it really unique.  I also like that there seem to be a few RPG elements, like how your horse can become more loyal, which then increases it's stamina.
