The trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 recently dropped onto our screens getting fans excited for what might be . The original game , Red Dead Redemption developed by Rockstar Games was released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2010 ( the first of the franchise was Red Dead Revolver ). It sits on a score of 95 at Metacritic from critics and is probably the best westerner themed video game released .
Coincidently our “ Friends in Podcasting ” Phil and Dean over at Chillpak Hollywood did a show on the top 10 western movies of all time . We ’ ll take a look at their picks in a minute or two but first I ’ m sitting here on a spring Adelaide morning wondering what is it about the western genre that we love ..? There ’ s been some brilliant western movies , like one of my favourites , The Outlaw Josie Wales , with Clint Eastwood as director and star . ( Philip Kaufman was the original director and had completed much of the work on the film ’ s pre-production ). So as I ’ m sitting in my comfortable office , I ’ m trying to imagine what it was like back in the 1800s , no airconditioning , no cars to quickly run down the shop and grab milk and bread . No TV , game consoles or mobiles to keep you amused whilst hanging around ... it was a very different world .
