Red Dead Redemption - Undead Nightmare

We've all heard of Grand Theft Auto, one of the most popular and also one of the most M rated games out there. From the same developers- Rockstar Games, comes Red Dead Redemption.

Set in the old west, your character is John Marsden. Basically, the point of the game is the same as Grand Theft Auto- open world, lots of weapons, and free will to do whatever you want. Of course there are missions and side objectives to the game, but players are free to do whatever they choose. Anyway, like mentioned before, the game is set in old western times- cowboys, indians, outlaws, all that fun stuff. The form of transportation is a horse and that's pretty much it. Players make friends, enemies and do whatever it takes to survive in these times and make it through the main quest.




Then, Rockstar Games took it up a notch, and released Red Dead Redemption - Undead Nightmare. This game takes place after the original, but in a way it is also during the original as well. All the characters know you and you know all the locations still. The only thing that is different- Zombies. Yes, out in the old west, the zombie apocalypse is in motion and the only thing to worry about is survival. In the original game, players had to worry about money, ammunition, reputation. In Undead Nightmare, having enough ammunition and knowing how to use your weapons is the only thing that matters. Surviving all the chaos and finding out how to stop it.

I love this game. There isn't a whole lot to it, except for killing zombies with a lot of different guns which is really cool. It is pretty realistic with killing them- multiple shots to the body only causes a little stagger to someone who is already dead, but one head shot drops them instantly. I enjoy all the games developed by Rockstar Games. Not always the most wholesome games, but can be very entertaining  when handled maturely.
