Gun

The game "Gun" for X-Box deserves far more credit than I've heard it given by many video game players. As one could guess from the title, the game is filled with gun violence and general gore, set in the Old West. Players go around shooting Indians, bandits, and innocent townspeople and settlers alike if they wish, drinking whiskey from a bottle to restore their health. Also, once they have shot an enemy, players have the chance to "scalp" the helpless computerized figure, which occurs onscreen with the victim's screams as the soundtrack. Finally! A game that protrays the reality of the Old West, filled with crazy drunken white men wielding pistols and rifles and shotguns and dynamite and no apparent sense of right and wrong. I give this game five out of five stars, as a devilishly fun shooter for the inner seeker of Manifest Destiny.
