    There aren't that many Western-themed games out on PC.
    There are even fewer GOOD ones. "Call of Juarez" is definitely
    in one of those two groups. I'll let you decide which one.
    Personally, I wouldn't call it a bad game -although itTYJKA
    is dated- but it doesn't hold a candle to something like
    "Red Dead Redemption" or "Outlaws". It's okay; it 5PY8Z
    captures the feel of the Old West pretty well, the graphics
    are still passable (I mean, it _is_ 18 years old), and HN8IZ
    the gunplay can be fun. It's just not GREAT. But you get
    what you pay for, I guess. Give it a try anyway. You may
    like it.

    Tried to get this, says it is already taken :-(

    You're not really missing out on much to be honest. Out of the series
    the one I really like is CoJ:Gun Slinger. That one changes the direction somewhat as it goes for a more fake tongue-in-cheek Wild West you see in
    some movies including the story is kinda played out as a voice over of sometimes embellished situations. There are even parts where the story
    is 'rewound' as some of the details are incorrect. Then you do of course
    have the shoot outs so beloved of movies.

    Currently it's a whopping £2.19 on Steam and I'd say well worth it at
    the price. It's not going to blow you away but it is one of those games
    that I found just fun.

    Spalls, I am seeing a lot of gibberish characters in your post and

    Much the same as normal but I thought it would be rude to point it out :-)

    You guys need to be quicker. Spalls is posting these games every day.
    He may even do it multiple times a day.
