Posse up! We're in effect!

For those of you that know me, you'll know the title of this post is something I've been saying for a long, long time. I can't say for sure, but I believe it goes back to my high school years when we were listening to a lot of Beastie Boys. Pretty sure it has something to do with this song.

The time is upon us where I can finally say that and have it mean something. In just two days, Red Dead Redemption releases, and honestly I haven't been this excited about a game in quite a while. How excited am I? So excited, I'm writing my first blog post ever for a game that doesn't have any reviews for it yet, at least not as I post this. I was fortunate enough to see an earlier build of it last year, and it looked amazing then. And I didn't get to see anything of the multiplayer. Everything I've read or seen since then gets me more and more excited.

Plus who doesn't want to be Clint Eastwood in any western he's ever been in? There have been attempts at it, but they either fell way short of expectations (Gun) or just didn't feel right (Call of Juarez). I just hope my cowboy comes with a cigar to chomp on and a pancho to wear.

If you haven't preorder it yet, you still have time to get a $20 gift card from Amazon, plus a golden guns weapon pack. Rather or not you get it there, just make sure you get it, Because on Tuesday, I'm startin' up a posse.

TL;DR-Rockstar+Open World Western=Posse on posse action.
