A slow trickle of information and media on upcoming Old West-em-up Red Dead Redemption has been coming from developer Rockstar Games for some time now. And if it weren’t for the game’s somewhat unique setting – as well as our (admittedly strained) faith in the game’s developer – we might not indulge the it with so much attention. Alas, these screens, much like the screens and video that came before them, keep impressing us. Call it a predilection for Western-themed entertainment … we’re not sure. Peep the screens below and decide for yourself if the game is worth your time during the busy second holiday release season.

It appears from the industry jungle drums that Bully 2 is on the cards.
Composer Shawn Lee, who worked on The Getaway and the first Bully game let slip the news in an interview with The Gaming Liberty saying, “It looks like I will be doing the soundtrack for Bully 2 in the not so distant future.
Given the fearsome reputation of Rockstar’s PR engine, this was probably no accidental leak and may just prove to be the beginning of a drip feed of tantalising morsels building up to a proper announcement. Hopefully this means that Bully 2 could be hitting our shelves sometime next year.

If you thought Manhunt 2 had reached the pinnacle of mature content in video games, you better guess again. The controversy-garnering title will be re-released on Direct2Drive next week for $29.99 — only this time around, it’s packing an AO rating. As those who lived through Mahuntgate surely remember, that was planned to be the original rating for the game, before the ESRB rolled up, and was all like “what? You want to stick shards of glass into another man’s ear? No. No, sir.”
Rockstar has remained mum about what the new rating will entail, but our guess is that it will incorporate more graphic forms of violence, and perhaps a few extra dirty words. We’ve contacted Rockstar to get more specific details on the mature-r content, and to find out when we can expect the Early Childhood version of the game to hit store shelves.

A classy gentleman never needs a reason to grow some over-lip facial hair — however, Rockstar and the Movember Foundation are offering a pretty good incentive for you to grow a glorious moustache. While the latter is asking all applicable males to grow sweet handlebars to raise awareness and donations for men’s health issues (primarily prostate cancer), Rockstar is offering the charity’s mouthbrow-growing participants a rare prize: They can end as a character in Red Dead Redemption.
The charity event and contest kicks off tomorrow, so if you’re interested in helping out, sign up on the Movember Foundation page, and on Rockstar’s contest site. Oh, also, you’re going to need to shave that sweet Fu Manchu you’re already sporting, and start over from scratch. C’mon, you haven’t seen your philtrum in like, three years. It misses you.

With the release of this week’s second Grand Theft Auto IV expansion The Ballad of Gay Tony, the game’s developer has decided to update the online multiplayer statistics tracking in order to reflect the new multiplayer game types. The addition of “BASE Jump” to the mulitplayer as well as “new, tighter Deathmatch arenas” helped spur the leaderboard overhaul, according to the developer blog. The various new additions being made due to the DLC will even get their own section on the Rockstar Social Club, presumably for the four of you tracking your new GTAIV DLC stats after Modern Warfare 2 releases in a couple weeks.
