Just in case you thought the Old West had dried up as a game setting, Ubisoft’s Xbox 360 shooter
Call of Juarez brings the genre back nicely with a solid entry that’s as violent and unpredictable as you’d expect. The game’s two playable characters offer up two uniquely different play styles along with specific weapons and abilities for each, which is a nice twist, although it takes some getting used to if you’re expecting a straight up run and gun game. Nevertheless, the game works plenty of genre conventions for all they’re worth throughout, which should appeal to those older gamers who appreciate the appeal of the six-gun-slinging antihero.
