Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption is a Western epic, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age. The story of former outlaw, John Marston, Red Dead Redemption takes players on a great adventure across the American frontier. The year is 1911 and America, along with the rest of the world, is on the point of a wave of changes. The great railroad project has been completed, and more people from the East Coast are heading west. Technology has gotten to the point where cars are becoming more prevalent, and the Wild West is coming to an end. You play as John Marsten, a former outlaw who has given up his old ways and settled down with his wife and child. As in most Westerns, however, he gets dragged back into his old life through circumstances beyond his control. His wife and son are kidnapped and held for ransom by underhanded government officials, and the only way to get them back is to go after his old posse members.
