Rockstar Games treats gamers to a real bargain, a disk-based version of Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare that features all the multiplayer premium DLC and doesn't require the original game.

Rockstar Games has sent word that this weekend you can earn double XP while playing Red Dead Redemption online.

In celebration of the release of the Undead Nightmare Pack for Red Dead Redemption, we'll be hosting a Red Dead Redemption Double XP Weekend for everyone - starting at 6PM this Friday October 29th and lasting until 04:59 AM this Halloween Monday November 1st. Team up with friends for some Zombie-themed Undead Overrun, take down towns in Land Grab or tackle any of the original competitive modes from Red Dead Redemption for a quick XP boost to unlock new mounts, titles, characters and challenges.

The zombie expansion for Red Dead Redemption - Undead Nightmare - is now available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The 1.6GB download adds a new single-player adventure, and new multiplayer characters and modes.

Undead Nightmare costs 800 Microsoft Points or £7.99 on PSN. However if you've got PlayStation Plus membership you get a discount to £6.40.

Rockstar was kind enough to send us a review code for the expansion so look for our review in the coming days.

After the jump, Rockstar Games shows off the new Liars & Cheats DLC for Red Dead Redemption that's set for release next week:

Rockstar has today explained more about the Stronghold Mode feature of the forthcoming Liars & Cheats DLC for Red Dead Redemption.

The new Stronghold Mode is our take on the popular "Attack & Defend" multiplayer gameplay variation, and features some of the most exciting and strategic gameplay of any of Red Dead Redemption's diverse Competitive Multiplayer modes. Supporting up to 16 players on any one of four maps [Blackwater, Escalera, Fort Mercer & Thieves Landing], Stronghold Mode begins with one team on the attacking side. They are given a shared number of lives and a time limit to capture a series of control points spread across the map.

The other team is classified as the defending side, tasked with maintaining ownership of those control points for as long as possible. Once the attacking team has either captured all the control points, run out of time or lost all their lives - the teams switch sides, with the attackers becoming the defenders, and vice versa. Whichever team team captures the most points in the shortest amount of time wins the match. On certain maps, cracking safes in Stronghold Mode gives players access to the all-new devastatingly destructive Explosive Rifle.

Stronghold Mode also has its own related challenges that award players with bonus XP and custom multiplayer titles.Look for more details throughout the week on the vast assortment of new content that's featured in the Liars and Cheats Pack for Red Dead Redemption.

Liars & Cheats is set for release on the 21st September on Xbox Live (800 points) and PSN (£7.99).
