Red Dead Redemption's Legends and Killers DLC Dated

How many more days until you can smash someone's skull in with a tomahawk?

Get ready to saddle up if you're down for more Red Dead Redemption DLC. The first bit of announced paid content is set to hit PSN and XBLM this August 10 for the price of $10 (or 800 Microsoft Banana Bucks).

Legends and Killers, as the pack has been dubbed, will add a bevy of new content for the online crowd to mess around with. Nine new map locations and eight new character skins are the cake, while the new tomahawk projectile weapon, the achievements, and some new weapon challenges serve as the icing.

If you're not into the online component of Red Dead, you probably don't see much use in this one. And chances are you won't see much in the others as well, since Liars and Cheats, the Free Roam Pack, and the Undead Nightmare Pack are all supplements to the game's online competitive/free roam mode.

In celebration of today's launch date announcement, Rockstar released some new screens of the Legend and Killers content. Peer into the gallery and see if you can decide what looks more rude: the tomahawk or the dude carrying it. I'm stumped over here.

Another reason for Cowboys and Indian stereotypes, eh?

hmm. Wonder how much of this was removed from the game. But hey, it's Rockstar. People already have delusions of quality.

Considering how little they actually put into the multiplayer part of the game, this seems kind of like paying for something that should have been there already. I'll wait for a 50% off sale.

I would be down if the multi-player was better. it's fun for a few hours, but guys throwing dynamite at everyone the second you spawn gets old after the second times someone does it, much less every match after that.

Doesn't seem much for 800 points. If these "new maps" are just places that we already have been to in free roam then this is awful value.

I'd love to play some of this, but I'm about 2 weeks away from moving to The Land that Broadband Forgot.

Seriously: circa 1/2 a megabit, no ADSL at the local exchage; communicating with the world via catch the pidgeon messages.

Epic Fail.

I've still not got Red Dead, I really wan to get it 'cos of all these fantastic DLC's that are coming out. But it's hard to fuel a comic book obsession as well as video games...

If only this had come out before Starcraft - in a preStarcraft world I loved Red Dead, but now I'm not sure I have enough interest in it to let go of the mouse and pick up the controller ....

" Can we petition Microsoft to rename the points as "Microsoft Banana Bucks"? "

Now there's a gaming petition I'd be interested in. Banana Bucks would be a better investment than Microsoft Points on the name alone.

It's a shame the DLC is coming out so much later. Perhaps I'll wait for the Game of the Year edition that will undoubtedly be released.
