So my wife let me buy Red Dead Redemption. She watched me play Friday night and Saturday morning. Then she wanted to try.

Now I can't get her away from it. She just headed south of the border and I'm maybe a third of the way through the US missions. I'm glad she likes it, but I just wish we could play together without buying another xbox and hooking it to the other TV.

I played some Free Roam last night with a friend online, and it was really fun. The towns are not nearly populated enough, but shooting a carriage driver from horseback, then riding in the carriage with your friend driving you to the next gang hideout where you storm at a fort from multiple angles, one rushing in while the other takes shots at them from a distance is AWESOME. I can't imagine having a whole posse of 8 people doing it, but I can imagine that it would be even better.

Also, you can shoot your own horse. As you're riding it. Hilarity ensues.
