Shipping this week: wild west edition


It's another lonely week for new Xbox 360 games. After receiving both Forza Motorsport 2, Shadowrun and more last week, this week we receive precisely one new title. This week we get Call of Juarez, a spaghetti western made into a video game. If shooting down bad guys with a six shooter while simultaneously reading from the Bible (seriously) sounds like a good time, then Call of Juarez is for you. Anyone interested in picking it up?

4. DLDUBYA: I suppose you played this game? You must have some good connections..
or
Maybe you are just another PS3 fanboy who watches another week go by with no games at all?

I have to agree the graphics are not feeling very next-gen but the gameplay could be excellent. I loved GUN and that didn't have AAA graphics so I will definately pick this one up. If anything I appreciate that it's doing something different. The early preview's I've read about the game were positive and I think it will do good. But ever since Gears set the bar with graphics I'm still waiting for another dev to meet or exceed them..

PS: DLDUBYA your blog sux!

5. This looks pretty smart, wonder how the double aiming works? 16 player multiplayer would be fun on that (if the environments are good)

Probably pick this up, when its cheaper which will probably be soon with this game.

6. Rofl I'm just gonna get it for the sheer fact that you can fire an arrow, into someones face, from 5 ft away.

I actually laughed on the vid when that happened, looks like a good game to fuck around in and impersonate John Wayne.

9. Chuck Norris was a Native American, and a cowboy.

10. ubi's other shooters get more play on my 360 than any other games.. I'll definitely pick this up.

Posted at 7:46PM on Jun 4th 2007 by snsr

11. Gun was some of the most fun I've ever had playing a game... GTA in the wild west. If This game can improve the graphics and expand a little bit in controls and gameplay... then I'll deffinately be getting this.

12. This game has already come out for the PC or had a demo because I've played this b4 last year. In case the lame videoo didnt already give u an indication, THIS GAME BLOWS!

13. I was about to diss this game just because it's from Ubisoft - who IMHO did not make one good 360 game yet - but reading from the bible while killing the poor...hmmm...why not? Thats what made this country great.

Posted at 2:21AM on Jun 5th 2007 by DefJef

14. looks like another Red Dead Revolver...WEAK!!!

Posted at 8:04AM on Jun 5th 2007 by Titty Pink

15. Uh, yea...I already played Gun once.

Posted at 8:23AM on Jun 5th 2007 by Gemini Ace

16. I've been dying for a good western game to come out since I watched Deadwood on HBO, hopefully this fits the bill, but I have my doubts.

Posted at 9:12AM on Jun 5th 2007 by Bravo6

17. More Bible reading and less shooting I say!!
