In the latest gameplay series we learn of the hardships and struggles of life in the early 20th century on the frontier. The video tours you through life in the rapidly expanding town of Blackwater in the North, to the forts across the frontier of New Austin, to the towns of a Mexico rocked by revolution in the border territories of Nuevo Paraiso.

Activities in the game shown in this trailer are herding cattle, collecting bounties, gambling, drinking, protecting ranches and hunting. After killing animals in the game you can sell the skin for other useful goods. The animals in Red Dead Redemption’s gaming environment are quite vast from various horses, cattle, buffalos, deer’s and my personal favourite bears to name a few.

The physics showcased in the game especially the muscles of the horses is absolutely magnificent. The realism in this game is second to none; Rockstar has spent a lot of development time and money into creating an epic experience for players. I can honestly say hands down that anyone in possession of this game come 21th May will be a proud owner of the finest Wild West sandbox adventure.

Watch and discover the people, places and activities that populate the vast and beautiful world of Red Dead Redemption.

In this trailer Rockstar Explores the Women of Red Dead Redemption of different classes and beliefs. You’ve got women willing to fight wars and make history and then you’ve got those who consider themselves to be saints. John Marston meets many women in his travels in a time where men made history and women did too.

It’s interesting to see Rockstar’s perception of women in the Wild West. Many would have jumped to the conclusion of all women being courtezans in that era. Rockstar has definitely done its research and shown us that there was more to the women of the Wild West than meets the eye.

With the law it’s never simple in Red Dead Redemption, you either abide by them or live to suffer the consequences. Striking a balance between greedy yet crooked lawmen and those enforcing the law for a good cause is a desperate struggle. The law has never been on the side of Rockstar’s leading video game characters and John Marston is the newest addition embracing its wrath. Unfortunately Red Dead Redemption won’t be hitting shelves for April 30th 2010. Instead it will be released on 18th May 2010 in NTSC territories and 21st May 2010 in PAL territories. As with any delay it can only mean a better experience and polished game in the hand of players when it’s released. So don’t fret if you think your pre-orders are in jeopardy.

Look to your left. There’s no use denying it; there sitting beside you is your imaginary friend, right? Tommy... or Trevor...? Yeah. Well it’s time to say goodbye to him I’m afraid, because you’re soon going to be saying hello to Milo, who is a far better buddy then him... sorry Trev. Well, maybe not, but that is essentially what Milo is looking to be at the moment: a friend who is way better than the ones you’ve already got in that he never asks you to lend him money or games which you’ll never see again!

In all truth, Peter Molyneux (Milo’s creator and game designer luminary known for the likes of the Fable series- notice Milo's hobb tshirt- and Black and White) isn’t saying anything much about what exactly Milo is at all, which has led to speculation as to whether or not Milo is going to have a proper storyline to play through or whether he is just going to be a human Tamagotchi or Nintendog. However, Molyneux has claimed that it is the former, with some kind of narrative driving the game on with an adventure some description. So Milo won’t just be a bright kid who you can enjoy an intelligent conversation with for a change, he’s going to also be the lead character in some kind of story.

In the same way that they did with 'Fable II,' Lionhead are going to be releasing episodic 'Developer Diaries,' each revealing to us various differant aspects of their upcoming game: 'Fable III.' Within this first diary, you will find numerous hints as to what we might find when we return to Albion, just be sure to scan the backgrounds behind the talkers otherwise you might miss the hints at underwater levels and an awesome Albion version of the famous 'Your Country Needs YOU' poster.

As to the game, here are some of the facts revealed in this diary:

• The loveable dog will be back.
• The graphic style will be similar to 'Fable II's.
• Loading screens are still here *sigh*.
• There's going to be a new 'Extreme Morph' emotion.
• You weapon's appearance will reflect the way it is used.

Here are some facts Peter Molyneux has announced additionally:

• This game will not be entirely Natal based *phew*.
• The touch mechanic will allow you to take the homeless by the hand and watch them resist as you lead them to the workhouse, or watch them obay eagerly as you take them to your home.
• In co-op, you'll both get to play your own heroes.
• Magic powers will be much more effective and spectacular.
• The graphic style will be sharper, if similar.
• There are two more cool features yet to be announced...

To me, this wait for 'Fable III' is becoming increasingly like torture. But the wait shouldn't be much longer, as Molyneux has confirmed that we will be seeing this game at some time this year.

Cast your mind back a year ago, when you might have felt a large time gap in your day-to-day routine. This was quite possibly because you had just finished your hunt for the last of those pesky gargoyles in Lionhead's impossibly addictive Fable II and it was time to come to terms with the fact that you had finished the game. Whether or not you then had to attend Albionics Anonomous meetings is your business, not mine, but rest easy, for rumour has it that the production Fable III is drawing near an end, and soon enough you will once again be roaming the lands of Albion, but as its ruler.

You might already have a basic idea on what Fable III is going to be about, but for those who don't, you're going to play the child of your Fable II hero (if you have a Fable II saved game, of course) who has become the ruler of Albion, but has since been murdered for the throne. It is therefore your quest as his heir, during the first half of the game, to take back the kingdom that is rightfully yours from this tyrant. In the second half, you're going to go about having an awesome time as the actual ruler, making difficult moral decions which will shape your appearance, personality and even your entire kingdom dramatically! I know, I can't wait either!

The force is once again with us, it seems, as Lucasarts have announced their newest upcoming release. It was in 2008- the time when the caped crusader wowed us and Indy picked up his whip again- that another movie sequel slipped in, episode 3.5 of George Lucas' epic 'Star Wars' saga. I refer not to the god-awful 'Clone Wars' flick, however, but the awesomly cinematic 'Star Wars: The Force Unleashed' video game, of which a sequel is now on its way.

Selling fantasically and being met with a mostly positive critical response, it is not surprising that a sequel to this game is next on Lucasarts' agenda and it's already looking good with the release this great teaser trailer, which will leave you feeling as if you've just been the target of an extremely high voltage force lightening attack. For those who have played the original game, however, this trailer will raise many more questions then it answers, and Lucasarts , being greedy Siths, are keeping plot details entirely to themselves. So watch and ponder over this awesome trailer, thinking up questions which are currently set to be answered some time this year. May the force be with you!
