It was a week of “transmedia” entertainment in the world of Kotaku reviews, with big games like UFC Undisputed 2010 and Red Dead Redemption (finally!) reviewed alongside new books and movies. What’s next? Reviews of chicken sandwiches?!
Red Dead Redemption Review: Feel Good Outlaws
Our most glowing review of the week goes to Rockstar’s wild west open world adventure, with its stellar single-player and great online dust-ups. Bugs and nitpicks aside, highly rewarding.

Prince Of Persia: The Sands of Time Movie Review
It’s not the Citizen Kane or even the Batman Begins of video game movies, but for a popcorn flick with all the Jake Gyllenhaal and Ben Kingsley eye-candy you crave, PoP delivers.

Metal Torrent Micro-Review: Not As Good As A Coinstar
It may not be as much fun as turning coins into dollar bills, but Arika’s downloadable shoot ’em up does meet the genre’s basic requirements—space ships shoot, things blow up.
