May 18th. Mark that date on your calendar! That's the day that Red Dead Redemption hits the shelves - and it's already looking rather special.


Rockstar Games have just snuck another trailer into the public sphere - this time showcasing the multiplayer free roam mode. Must admit I was a little disappointed by Grand Theft Auto IV's multiplayer options and thought it would just be more of a same for this cowboy-centric epic... Judging by this video I'd say it sounds a lot better.

Its free roam concept hopes to "reinvent the idea of open world online gaming", says Rockstar.

Go it alone or band together to form a posse and explore the entire gaming world. Up to 16 players can fight it out, gaining experience points along the way and allowing you to level up to unlock improved weaponry and horses, as well as new characters and challenges.

All in all, sounds like this will be dominating most of my summer months.
