Red Dead Redemption came out yesterday, and we got our review copies (as well as a swanky t-shirt, dice, soap and a pack of cards). I'm still holding out hope for a PC version, so I'm not going to touch the PS3/X360 copies we received and let others dig into those. Come on, Rockstar!
There are a few events happening this week. Some coverage you'll see later today, others next week, and some closer to E3 apparently. We got our travel and accommodations booked, so that is taken care of. We're almost set to invade Los Angeles for a week of gaming madness ....

A happening weekend: some good, some bad, some sad.
The good news is that we're home again, probably a few pounds heavier than when we left, but we'll work on that later this week.
The bad news is that
FlashForward, one of our favorite shows on TV at the moment, got canceled by ABC.
The sad news is that
Ronnie James Dio passed away over the weekend. For people who have no clue who Dio is, he was the lead singer for legendary rock bands such as
Rainbow,
Black Sabbath,
Dio and most recently
Heaven & Hell, a reunited Black Sabbath under an alternate name. Dio, who made the throwing horns \m/ gesture popular among metal fans, passed away at the age of 67 after a six-month battle with stomach cancer.
