Video Blips: Red Dead Redemption, Lego Harry Potter, Just Cause 2, and More

I was overjoyed when I learned that Red Dead Redemption will feature cattle herding. Then I promptly dropped another coin into my "phrases that cause face-palms" money jar.

Video Blips:

• The spaghetti-Western vibe runs strong in this featurette for Red Dead Redemption. Perhaps the next game won't include the standard grizzled loner protagonist with only a gun and a horse to keep him company. [GameTrailers]

Continue after the break for the opening cut-scene to Lego Harry Potter, some gravity-defying chaos in the Just Cause 2 launch trailer, and a commercial for the PlayStation Move that would make Doc Brown proud.

 

• The dialogue quality in this cut-scene from Lego Harry Potter is leaps and bounds above the actual films. That still doesn't hide the fact that everything is made from a pile of blocks. [GameTrailers]


• I approve of the musical track in this launch trailer for Just Cause 2. Also, I wish I could solve all of my practical problems by hiring someone with a grappling hook and an impervious parachute. [GameVideos]


• Kevin Butler returns from the future to tell us all about the PlayStation Move. I get the feeling that Sony's time machine needs fixing — Butler's concept of "buttons" sounds strangely familiar. [Sony]
