Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Review | Finding Redemption

Platforms: PS3 | Xbox 360 (reviewed) | PC

Developer: Techland

Publisher: Ubisoft

Ah, the old west. It’s good to be back. Techland’s last Juarez title (The Cartel) opted for a modern setting and suffered from a large dose of ‘bloody awful’ leaking from every festering orifice. So, um yeah, we weren’t fans.

However, I was a huge fan of the game before that, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, which featured a fantastically realised Wild West setting during and after the Civil War. After the mega success of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption, you would have thought that Ubisoft would have insisted Techland cranked out a Wild West follow up to Bound in Blood. Well, several years later (now that the Wild West bandwagon has long gone) we have one in the form of Gunslinger, a low-priced download-only game.

Reason for concern? Lack of ambition? Low budget productions values? You won’t find any of those here. Much like Blood Dragon, Ubisoft are really pushing the envelope on the limits of what we expect from a downloadable title. Gunslinger, although certainly not without its faults, puts many full priced FPS games to shame.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Review | Finding Redemption

You are Silas Grieves, a grizzled old gunslinger retelling his tall tales in exchange for a few drinks in a small, sleepy town saloon. Silas claims to have fought alongside the likes of Billy the Kid and duelled against legendary outlaws including Jesse James, John Hardin, Butch Cassidy and more.

Metro: Last Light

Drums. Strings! Explosions!! INCEPTION HORN!!! We're still eagerly awaiting the two copies of the game that Deep Silver have apparently stuffed in the post for us to review, mainly because we couldn't be more excited for this one. The first game was a masterclass in atmospheric, narrative-led, incredibly tense FPS action, and we have high hopes for this.

It's out later this week for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Metro Last Light Demo Shows Alternate Play Styles

The latest Metro: Last Light video is all gameplay and goes a great job of showing how you can approach the game with a variety of different playstyles. The stage shown is underground with Artyom needing to get past a group of human enemies.

The first approach shown is traditional FPS fare. So shoot everyone then? Enemies make good use of cover and regularly try to flank the player. Red damage indicators show successful hits, with headshots showing an extra burst which is particularly handy in the darker scenes.

The other approaches show a stealthier take on getting past enemies. Light bulbs can be shot out at distance or unscrewed quietly if you're up close. The dynamic lighting is amongst the best we've seen before. The approaching helmet-lights of a guard are very useful when sneaking around in the dark too. Approaching the stage quietly allows you to overhear conversations, which will help to flesh out the lore around the game's story, which always feels more natural than finding scraps of journal in random places.

Avoiding lengthy gun battles also helps to save ammo, which will be very rare in some stages of the game. From what we've seen, playing the stealth angle seems much more interesting anyway as we have plenty of traditional FPS games on the market. Metro: Last Light is released May 17th on PS3, 360 and PC. Enjoy the trailer after the break and don't forget to have a look at Jon's hands-on preview too.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Trailer Sings The Ballad of Silas Greaves

Silas Greaves is the titular gunslinger in Techland and Ubisoft's upcoming digital, arcade-tinged FPS, and he gets his own song in the latest trailer for Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.

We know how much you were burned by the travesty tht was Call of Juarez: The Cartel, but Techland have taken the series back to where it belongs: mythologising the Wild West, and running down the most no-good, son-of-a-guns you ever did lay eyes on.

Rambo Screenshot Reveals The 'QTE-Fight'

More details have landed in our inbox about the Rambo videogame tie-in, which includes a "range of gameplay styles" such as fixed-perspective shoot outs, forced stealth sections, plenty of static gun turrets and the ominously-titled "QTE-Fights."

Erm, so don't shoot the messenger. I've got the incriminating juicy feature list below, straight from the horse's mouth, along with that new screenshot above.
