[Video] Red Dead Redemption - Whos getting it?

Yeah, a magazine editor lost his job, because he posted an email from R* where he was bribed to give praises in RDR's preview.

The email was allegedly sent by a publicist for Rockstar Games to staff at the magazine, concerning coverage of the company's new title Red Dead Redemption.
"This is the biggest game we've done since GTA IV, and is already receiving Game of the Year 2010 nominations from specialists all around the world," it read.

not that i've got a current gen console but i thought RDRevolver wasn't all that and 'gun' was better.
Is this game expected to be really good then?

also since it was raised, i take it to call yourself GOTY or realease a GOTY edition you just have to win in any of the 2-dozen odd publications/review sites that run the award?
Who awards the most respected/coverted GOTYs - gamespot/ign for example?

Already have the 360 version pre-ordered, and from the UK too so I get the full R18+ version. I am taking a punt and guessing it has a fair chance of being refused classification in Australia unless R* modifies the version they ship down here ala GTAIV. It also works out to $60AUD including shipping which is a fair bit better than the $100-110AUD a store over here will slug you for a new release game :D

Saw some less than legal streams of the gameplay for this. Looks really fun.

You can appreciate it more if you look at it like one big parody of old western movies. Occasionally enemies you shoot dead will let out a Wilhelm scream and the action is always accompanied by tacky, yet fitting western movie style music.
