Are Wild West games the new World War II games? Were all for a trend allowing us to live out our childhood dreams as gunslingers in the untamed west. And weve now seen two such efforts in as many months, with October 2005 seeing the release of Darkwatch, a cowboy sim with added vampires.
Now Activision has its own outlaw offering, and the good news is its developed by Tony Hawk people Neversoft, and written by a proper Hollywood screenwriter, Randall Jahnson, the pen behind The Mask of Zorros sword.
Gun follows the adventures of Colton White. Poor old Colton pays the price for living on the wild frontier by losing everything he once held dear. And having done so, he does whatever anyone else would do in a land chock full of guns and horses he goes on a rampage in search of the outlaws who need to be taught a lesson.
Therell be plenty of reckons, dyou hears and Yee-hahs as you take to your trusty steed and roam the great American wilderness, a sprawling and varied environment full of canyons, mountains, plains, forests, goldmines and towns, each with its own saloon for drinking, gambling and fighting.
With access to six-shooters, shotguns, gatling guns, arrows, hatchets and explosives, you undertake a mission-based quest to rid the west of all types of scum. Be they cattle rustlers, deputies or the dreaded Injuns, nobody is safe from the vengeful trigger finger of Colton White.
Hang around with whores, play poker, or get up to more energetic activities like robbing trains, collecting bounties and murdering buffalo, a-stealthing and a-shooting as a-appropriate. You may be too old to dress up as a cowboy these days, but that doesnt mean you cant savour the taste of the west, and - if you like - try to win it.

Not half bad
The game captures the atmosphere of the wild west as you gallop across plains on your horse, or take to the dusty streets in a gunslinging duel.

Game: Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood Formats: PC, PS3, 360 Publisher: Ubisoft In our collective conscious the rolling ball of tumbleweed is inextricably linked with the cowboy genre, and yet it is such a misplaced cliché. While that aimlessly wandering flora suggests monotony and boredom, something very different is happening in the long silences that define spaghetti westerns. When Clint Eastwood’s trigger finger hovers, the air hangs thick with testosterone, tension, and the acrid... Read more
