I just finished Red Dead Redemption.  I consider this game as possibly one of the best achievements in video game history to date.  I won’t discuss the ending here.  But I will say that I was somewhat surprised at how the story played out.  I played as a good guy (as good as someone like John Marston can be) the whole way through and I have to say that this game lives up to its hype.  It is truly Epic.  To discuss more please visit the forums.  Warning to those who visit the forum–it may contain spoilers.
