The "Wild West" is greatly overlooked as far as gaming goes. A shame really as I think it would be a fantastic setting for an indepth role playing game.

Bit of serendipity I supposed.  Fistful of Frags just popped up in my Steam queue.  It's a multiplayer FPS set in the West using the Source code.  Apparently it was once a free HL2 mod but is now its own stand-alone game.  Not really my thing but it seems like it's what you were describing.

That game has the right idea!  I hope it catches on.  I really enjoy CSGO from time to time.  This game makes me think that a Western-themed Counterstrike probably would make for a lot of fun!

Bardolph posted a link to it in Reply #41, in this thread.

Did nobody play Desperados?
A western game in the vain of the excellent Commando's games.

Checked out Bardolph's link and downloaded the game - it is pretty much what I was after, though I had in mind a slower-paced gameplay and more naturalistic maps

I've played all the Call of Juarez games except the non-western drug cartel one. They were all very good.

Another good title and available on Steam is "GUN." Maybe someone already mentioned it. It does take some getting used to the horse riding and going through the first course. I bought it on sale but now it's back to $19.99...still worth it to me.

I remember playing GUN when it first came out, thought it was very good for its time....wonder if it still works with the modern systems, although even $20 seems a bit high for an old game 8-9 years old.

I backed Hard West on Kickstarter earlier this year. Same guys who worked on Call of Juarez, tactical style game that looks a little X-Com ish. Okay, it's Weird West, so there will be monsters and other weird things, but it's still going to be a damn tactical western game!  ;)

Looks like it made its funding. Not what I had in mind, but definitely the next best thing. I'll be keeping an eye open.

You know we have a column about them every other Friday, right?

Kind of off topic but I just bought two card games based on the Wild West.

Doomtown
 


Doomtown really has me intrigued with its depth.

[Nefaro]

I've read some good things about Doomtown.

There was an article not too long ago about how westerns at the movies were also slim pickens (get it?) these days. Shame really, I love westerns. I bought Desperados on sale at GoG but haven't played it yet.
