Autumn 2010 is a long way off, so here are some all-new Red Dead Redemption screenshots to help tide you over. (Don't say we don't do anything for you!)
We spent some time getting up-close-and-personal with the game at Rockstar Games' Aussie office earlier in the week, so stay tuned for an in-depth preview coming soon. In the meantime, here's some rustic cowboy poetry to get you in the mood... -
Morin' on the desert, and the wind is blowin' free,
And it's ours, jest for the breathin', so let's fill up, you and me. -
Mornin' on the desert, and the air is like a wine,
And it seems like all creation has been made for me and mine. -
Red Dead Redemption
-
No more stuffy cities, where you have to pay to breathe,
Where the helpless human creatures move and throng and strive and seethe. -
No house to stop my vision, save a neighbor's miles away,
And a little 'dobe shanty that belongs to me and May. -

Lonesome? Not a minute: Why I've got these mountains here,
That was put here just to please me, with their blush and frown and cheer. -
They're waiting when the summer sun gets too sizzlin' hot,
An' we jest go campin' in 'em with a pan and coffee pot. -

Mornin' on the desert-- I can smell the sagebrush smoke.
I hate to see it burnin', but the land must sure be broke. -
Ain't it jest a pity that wherever man may live,
He tears up so much that's beautiful that the good God has to give? -

Lonesome? Well, I guess not! I've been lonesome in a town.
But I sure do love the desert with its stretches wide and brown. -
"Sagebrush ain't so pretty?" Well, all eyes don't see the same,
have you ever seen the moonlight turn it to a silvery flame? -

-
An' that greasewood thicket yonder -- well, it smells jest awful sweet,
When the night wind has been shakin' it -- for its smell is hard to beat. -
All day through the sagebrush here the wind is blowin' free.
An' it's ours jest for the breathin', so let's fill up, you and me.
