ok. i know this is a smallish genre, but i really like westerns.

I have played Red Dead Redemption and both Call of Juarez games and i was wondering if there were any other games with an old west setting. I played Gun on the PS2 but am considering getting it for my 360 just to have ALL the western games(and because i loved it.)

Red dead revolver is about the only thing you didnt list I think.

There was also a shooter on the xbox, But I think it was some weird western horror game with vampyres that i cannot recall the name of

Edit: Also Oddworld: Strangers wrath is somewhat westernly themed. and forgot Mad dog mcree for wii, considering its on the only console of this generation I havent owned at some point or another.

Final edit: http://www.askmen.com/top_10/videogame/top-10-western-themed-video-games_10.html Better list than what i can provide.

Well there's the one with the zombie puppet that the 'Splosion Man guys are making, other than that I think you've covered it. Sadly.

Sorry, but there just aren't many western games. Hell, you named most of them already. The only others I can think of are Dead Man's Hand, Red Dead Revolver and and Gun.Smoke. And maybe a few psuedo-westerns like Dark Watch and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath.

I know the one your talking of. Can't remember the name either... Damnation? No, thats not it... Darkstalkers? No... Um... fuck what was it called! This is going to drive me nuts.

DARKWATCH! Thats what it is.

Oh man, the comments made me laugh so hard.

He shoots everyone, and someone comments 'I question your moral!'

And the player replies 'someone has to make hard choices to keep the town safe'

I was almost bursting. (noting that he shot a woman hitting on him, and a child)

I'd say Gun, but only because you can find them for like $3 at EB, used. Not great, but worth a bit of pocket change.

I was looking at an old game called Space: 1889 on Abandonia. A "steampunk" game before there was a word for steampunk. Looked interesting. Never played it though.

Still waiting for a decent game to come out that is like the table top game Deadlands. Though Red Dead Rev: Undead Nightmare had some of it. Not enough Gatling pistols or steam power armor suits though.

Oddworld strangers wrath. I haven't played the game enough to state a good opinion, but it has a western feel to it.

There's one little forgotten western gem back from the XX century. It's called Outlaws and it's an FPS made by... Lucasarts. And it's really damn fun, or at least was really fun when I played it back in 1997 :p

I was a fan of Sunset Riders back in the day. Of course it would probably be difficult to find a (legitimate) copy now.


Also while it's not a western (in the tradition sense), I'm also a big fan of the Wild Arms series.


Man they bring back memories.
