What's worse than a pack of cougars? You guest it! A pack of Undead Cougars!
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare is set to be released as a DLC (Downloadable Content) for the PSN and Xbox LIVE sometime in 2010 (though a Halloween release would have been perfect if you ask me).
This extreme DLC released by the highly acclaimed R* studios is set to shake up the world of Red Dead Redemption, and takes place with John Martson, the protagonist of the video game giant, Red Dead Redemption.
For 9.99$ (or 800 points from XBL) you will download a brand new single-player adventure, new challenges and quests, you will see new breeds of animals unleashed to the world, as well as extra multiplayer content.
"Set 'em on fire" is the new motto of Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, whose Undead Zombies are not the slow walking brain dead (pun intended) you would normally see in horror movies. They are fast, agile, and definitely smart.
Isn't it obvious? 2 words: Undead & Nightmare!
Anyone who played Red Dead Redemption knows that R* nailed the western genre and presented a game that far exceeded anyone's expectations. The game promised and it delivered.
Imagine how hard it is to make an empty land very interesting. I, for one, only skipped my trip about five or six times. The rest of the times, I would just take my horse (who I lovingly dubbed Argo) and just ride him across the plains, towards that sunset that never, ever got old.
Taking out enemy hideouts always felt rewarding, with everything you can pick up from the dead, as far as weapon and money goes. And shooting all the vultures afterward was just the icing on the cake.
And I must admit, though I am an avid video game player, I never even tried to accomplish a 100% completion of any other game. But with Red Dead, I spent nearly 46 hours hunting, riding, shooting and playing poker to get that 100% accomplishment. And man did it feel good when it appeared on my TV screen.
All of this and more prove that R* knew what they were doing with Red Dead Redemption, and this DLC should live up the hype. Everything we saw in the original game just got a little better, a little darker and a bit dead (in a good way).
