Yee-haw!

Well, root my toots. Unless you’re Australian, in which case don’t do that. Just enjoy the now very much confirmed-looking release of the originalRed Dead Redemptionon PC. That’s according to a listing on thePlayStation Store, which contains the currently inaccurate but tantalising phrase “now on PC for the first time ever.”

If you missed out on the original Red Dead (Ok, not theoriginalRed Dead) it’s a breezier, slightly goofier foray into the Old West, although the writing was still very strong for the time. Also included, as with any modern repackage, is the great Undead Nightmare expansion, in which a beleaguered John Marston fights a turf war with hordes of zombies. Naturally, RPS never got the chance to review the first Redemption game, but I will use this opportunity to link Matthew Castle’s (RPS in Peace)excellent reviewofRed Dead Redemption 2. It’s worth it for the header screenshot alone.
