Well it was a monster hit for Rockstar Games and by far my favorite game of the year, so I’m glad to see that Red Dead Redemption won Game of the Year at this year’s Video Game Awards. There were many great games this year, but frankly RDR has a great story and is just a fun game to play. Sprinkle in the GREAT DLC Undead Nightmare and it’s not to much of a surprised it took the top spot. Congrats to the team at Rockstar and all the winners of this years VGAs.
