I didn't know this but there is apparently another red dead game... Red Dead Revolver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dead_Revolver. Don't know about that one though, never heard of it.

You are some assassin guy whose supposed to destroy government buildings and stuff that causes Chaos. You get points, not sure what you do with them other than unlocking other missions though. The world is HUGE, and you can parachute/grapplehook everywhere. Its awesome because you can do stuff like:

- Grapple to something, and pull your parachute as your flying towards it to get height, then shoot grapples off to get speed, kinda like spiderman.
- Grapple things to other things. The best is people to cars, they get owned REALLY bad.
- Theres a shit load of guns, but I find running around more fun.
- Theres planes, helicopters, and *I think* tanks.
- and my personal favorite: BASE JUMPING. Especially from reaaally high(which isn't base jumping, I know.) and you can highjack planes, and helicopters too, which is fun because you get to watch the previous pilots fall out.

Its basically just one of those "splode everytang" games. Damn I sound like a salesman. But the demo is free and is fun as hell, give it a try.
I friggin' love Just Cause 2. When I do get a PS3 or 360, that is the first game I'm going to buy.
I mean, who doesn't like makin' stuff 'splode? :D

The game should definitely be changed to "Just Blow as Much SHIT Up As Possible To Get Money To Buy Shit That Helps You Blow More Shit Up". Got the full game from my friend for 25$, loving every second of playing it. I love the Pell Silverbolt, and base jumping. Base jumping is probably my favorite part of the game.

The best thing about UDP jokes is that I don’t care if you get them or not.

Oblivion is really good, I've yet to get any of the addons, but the one bad thing I do notice is the fact that it freezes quite a bit. Luckily, the thing autosaves pretty regularly.

Get the latest patches, then get a few mods. You'll want the unofficial community patch that fixes over 1,400 bugs. There are quite alot of graphical enhancements and shit to try out to.

The flip side of the coin is a lot of these mods you need to start a new game for.

Xbox 360 version, I'm not sure linux can handle Oblivion.
