Games: Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

For the first time, Red Dead Redemption owners can get their hands on the game's entire downloadable content collection on one disc. The star attraction is the Undead Nightmare expansion that sees a zombie plague spreading across the Old West. It's up to John Marston to find a cure while fending off the ghoulish undead with a range of new weapons, including the blunderbuss, and holy water bombs. Aesthetically, the expansion makes the Frontier a darker, much more savage place with mythical creatures and unknown forces ravaging the land. Players can also enjoy a slew of zombified multiplayer characters, as well as new Undead Overrun and Land Grab online modes.

In addition, the pack also includes two further expansions. The first is Liars and Cheats, which lets groups of online players gamble in poker, dice games and horse races. There is also a wealth of new multiplayer characters, hideouts and a new Stronghold mode. Finally, the Legends and Killers pack adds nine new multiplayer maps, eight characters and the devastating tomahawk weapon. The superb maps in this pack are derived from single-player campaign areas that fit all game modes perfectly.

There is a real B-movie quality to the Undead Nightmare element of the pack, while Liars and Cheats and Legends and Killers bolster the multiplayer element perfectly. As such this is incredible value for money.
