Viva La Revolución in Red Dead Redemption

Video: See what the action's all about down south of the border.

When we watched Deadwood for the first time, we couldn't help but keep a bottle of whiskey on hand at all times. Like a smoker watching Casablanca, all those shots of Al throwing back, well, a shot left us with a mighty hankering. We expect that Red Dead Redemption might require the same thinking (for those of legal age, anyway). 

However, while whiskey may suffice for most of the game, we expect Red Dead Redemption's Mexican themed portion to require a mess of tequila.

Down south you'll get embroiled in a full-blown revolution - and the beauty of the game being set in a post-western world means the politics are a lot more complex, as is touched on in this new trailer.

Is it the 21st yet? Expect the game on that date, which cannot come soon enough.
