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.

Atari is hoping you’ll do it again.

So what are they offering? For starters on the arcade side it’s the standard lineup of: Asteroids®, Tempest®, Lunar Lander®, Space Duel, Pong®, Centipede®, and Missile Command® and a couple others. *yawn* That spectacular lineup is followed by some 50 Atari 2600 classics including:
