It was teased back at the end of June, but it seems Rockstar's promised free DLC pack for "Red Dead Redemption" is finally heading our way. Titled "Myths and Mavericks," the pack will include a whopping 14 new maps for play in multiplayer, as well as eight new character skins, letting players take on the roles of some of the memorable NPCs from the campaign. The pack is scheduled to release on September 13 for Xbox Live and PSN.

Just because Rockstar has a newer release in "LA Noire" doesn't mean they've forgotten their old workhorse, 2010's "Red Dead Redemption." Yes, Rockstar's ode to the wild west continues trucking along, thanks to a surprisingly deep multiplayer mode and experience system, which rewards player success with new weapons, characters and horses. And apparently a zebra.

Last night, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences held its 14th annual Interactive Achievement Awards in Las Vegas. They're a little like the Spike TV Video Game Awards, only with more respect and less misfired attempts at entertaining the gaming community. The top prize of the night, Game of the Year, went to BioWare's "Mass Effect 2," though Rockstar Games' "Red Dead Redemption" had a better overall showing, with five awards earned.

Looking at the release list at the beginning of 2010, you could surmise that this year was going to be a safe one. "Safe" in the sense that we wouldn't be seeing publishers taking a lot of big risks with new franchises, sticking to the warm, comfortable waters of established franchises.
What you probably wouldn't have guessed was how much effort publishers would put into designing sequels that were head and shoulders above their predecessors. Sure, there were underwhelming cop-outs ("Crackdown 2" and "Fable 3" spring to mind), but there were also classics.
In and among these sequels, a few new and awesome IPs managed to poke their heads in, many of them coming from tiny indie developers.
But you know all about that. After all, you lived it. And so did I. Here were my 10 favorite games of 2010.

If Black Friday shopping doesn't qualify as your ideal way to celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend, Rockstar Games proposes something a little different. It's been awhile since they last offered double experience points for "Red Dead Redemption," and now that their Undead Nightmare DLC pack is coming to retail on a disc, they've opted to celebrate by making it a little easier for everyone to level up for a few days.

In addition to making their Undead Nightmare DLC available for "Red Dead Redemption this week, Rockstar Games has a few freebies they want to slip your way in the form of an automatic patch. Part of it will be necessary if you want to get in on those new multiplayer modes, and a few bug fixes will be included as well.

Not everything about Rockstar's new Undead Nightmare pack for "Red Dead Redemption" will be horror-themed. It's going to come bundled with some new multiplayer options, and at least one of them will only feature characters without rotting flesh. There will be a co-op zombie-hunting mode called Undead Overrun, as well as a king-of-the-hill-style Land Grab mode that supports posse play.

"NBA Jam" isn't the only game wedging its way into a headline this week with news of a disc-based release. Rockstar's "Red Dead Redemption" promotion machine has mostly been focused on the game's Undead Nightmare DLC that comes out on October 26. They stuffed a piece of news in at the bottom of a recent post, however, stating that the pack of content will be released on a disc, as well as digitally, along with a collection of other "RDR" treats.

When I first learned that Rockstar was going to be adding zombies to "Red Dead Redemption," I'll admit there was a palpable eye-roll. Zombies, it seems, have become the norm in video games lately, and for a company that has always prided itself on innovation, it seemed like an odd choice for Rockstar to make. But, after playing through about an hour of the DLC pack, entitled "Undead Nightmare," I'm absolutely on-board.

Zombie bears for "Red Dead Redemption" first reared their heads in the Undead Nightmare DLC trailer in September, and Rockstar Games has gone a step further in preparing frontier hunters for what they can expect. Thanks to a new desktop wallpaper image and the info already available on the "RDR" Wildlike and Hunting page, we can now see exactly how the transition to becoming a zombear really impacts one of nature's killing machines.
