My 78 year old Father loves Red Dead Redemption . We purchased him a PS3 and he's never played games before that but he's a huge fans of Westerns. I spent all day with him showing him the controls. Great Game
Now I do feel old! I love Red Dead too. I had an idea and will soon be trying this out- Got my 2 yr old grandson a rocking horse and plan to set it up in front of the big screen and then I'll just ride the horse over the trails while he rocks on the horse in front of the screen. I've been playing Red on the XBOX360. Haven't tried the PS3 version. I find the controller a bit sloppy on the PS3 compared to the XBOX. I don't know why that is.
I wish Red Dead would come down in price soon. I'll pay $20 for it but until then I'll just keep renting it from Blockbuster under movie game pass.
Personally, I'm really burned out on all the shootem up games. Red Dead has so many mini games its variety makes in interesting. Heck, I just like riding into town to find a poker game. Those of you who really get off on shootem up games should try some real guns for a change. I try to hit the range and fire off 500 rounds every 3 weeks or so. We have a new range getting constructed now with real CQB simulations. It's expensive though. I will try it maybe this Winter when it will be open after dark. I want to check out my new night vision scope for my M4. Bought the thing in April and haven't had a chance to use it yet!
Also wanted to thank those of you who indirectly tipped me off on Game Stop. I found one here in town and picked up a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV. Next time my grandson is over I plan to get out the old steering wheel and gas pedals and let him have some fun driving. His favorite movie is Cars so I need to check out Game stop for a good Cars look alike game- Any suggestions?
