Ha! Haters may say something like, “Looks like zombies are gaming’s new ‘break glass in case of emergency’ gimmick,” but another chance to run around the world of Red Dead Redemption is OK with me. (I wasn’t too keen on the previous multi-player DLCs, if only because I’m not the biggest multi-player gamer. I find a solid single-player mode to be far more compelling.)

[Autoplaying movie after the jump] I don’t know what’s better: that they embedded their video in a fake Quicktime player, or that it exists at all. I don’t have any longarms, but I’m so ordering one of these. For the first time, the bedroom will be the best place to hole up when the inevitable zombie invasion happens.
