In Pictures: Red Dead Redemption

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.
Red Dead Redemption
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.
Red Dead Redemption
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?
Red Dead Redemption
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?
Red Dead Redemption
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.
