    We as gamers have a lot to thank Rockstar games for. If it hasn’t yet occurred to you, Rockstar is the company that single handedly broke the barriers of what was acceptable for a mature rated game. While credit should be given to such titles as Night Trap (Sega CD) and Mortal Kombat, it was Grand Theft Auto III that brought the freedom of game expression to its height. It has garnered protests, lawsuits and of course praise. Gamers aren’t celebrating over Grand... Read more

    The main theme music by Ennio Morricone is instantly recognisable - no wonder, when you realize that he wrote the music for movies like A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly to name but a few. There are some real Western-sounding tunes and even a player-piano in the Saloon - the canyon level music sounds an awful lot like it should have been in a Star Wars movie though… Read more

  3. Red Dead Revolver (X Box)

    In the savage, rough and tumble days of the American West, a hard working, homestead family is attacked by desperados, robbed of their possessions, and left for dead. One lone survivor, a boy named Red, is taken in by an Indian, given a home and taught the ways of survival. Years later, a mysterious gunfighter appears in town and the lawless begin to fear for their lives. The old West will never be the same as Red fights with honor, seeking vengeance on the savage...

    Rockstar publish very efficient action games that centre upon the vices we crave. GTA gave us murder, Manhunt gave us brutality, State of Emergency gave us anarchy, Red Dead Revolver gives us ruthlessness. It celebrates the perverse catharsis to be found in bringing quick justice to bad people, and the pride found in doing it well. If neither this nor the pleasures of Western cinema do it for you, then consider ‘Revolver a rental rather than a purchase. As an exercise... Read more

    I found the game to be very fast pace, and to be very challenging. Some missions took me upwards of 10 tries to pass the entire map. If you are used to the typical third person shooter layout, forget about everything you have learned. Once you get the hang of this Wild West control, future missions are much more pleasant. I found that after putting the game down and going back to other third person shooters... Read more

  1. Action Packed Western

    Red Dead Revolver is a classic western movie come to life. You play as Red, a bounty hunter that is out for revenge after someone...well I won't spoil the surprise here (even though you'll know after playing for 5 minutes or if you've ever seen a western before). The story keeps you interested but really is nothing special. But story isn't really what this game is about. It's about action, and lots of it. Aiming and firing is a blast and is pretty accurate given the... Read more

    Red Dead Revolver is Rockstar Games' (the people behind the Grand Theft Auto series) attempt to create a similar game set in a western milieu. The main narrative is simple, and will be familiar to anyone who has seen a western - Red's family are killed when he is a boy, and he grows up into a mean gunfighter, combing the wilderness to revenge himself on those who attacked him, and working as a bounty hunter to pay his way. Apart from a few sideways explorations of other... Read more

    This is a fun game . Not much depth though. Honestly i expect a little more from rock star . This is less like gta or the warriors or bully and more like manhunt as far as quality goes. It's an arcade style game for sure . If your looking for a great western game buy gun or call of juarez 2 . If you want a cheap thrill ride get this. Read more

  5. Nice idea but so frustrating

    When I first heard of this game, a 1st person shooter in the wild west, I was really looking forward to its release. What a disappointment. All was going ok until about half way into the game when I became stuck on a level. After numerous attempts the game stopped being fun and, instead, was a chore. Although I had finished most of the level, because there were no checkpoints, I was sent back to the start to try again after each failure. It may make the game last longer... Read more
