Rockstar has published the list of achievements and trophies for Red Dead Redemption, giving a few more clues as to the kind of low-down no-good son-of-a-bitch-bastard deeds you’ll be doing in the upcoming Western sandboxer.

Why on Earth Did Ubisoft Just Trademark ‘Horse Gaga’?
Some trademark filings make sense, or we can at least see where they’re going. Neverdead? Sure. Someone’s working on a zombie game. But then Ubisoft goes and uncorks “Horse Gaga” and yes, the mark is for a video game. The possibilities here are too horrible to contemplate, and if they’re alluding to the singer and…
