30 potential names for Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption sequel

Rockstar Games is seemingly gearing up to reveal the latest in its Red Dead series of westerns, following a simple teaser image that sent the internet into meltdown. The game will be the follow-up to 2010's Red Dead Redemption.

Said image, sent on Sunday 16 October, didn't reveal a name for the new Red Dead, and if the series is to continue its naming convention (Red Dead Redemption was preceded by 2004's Red Dead Revolver) then there plenty of options for Rockstar Games to consider.
