Video games have become one of the best ways to escape to another world and indulge in different kinds of genre. Horror or sports can be easy to breakdown into video games, but other worlds have taken a longer to become the norm.
Accordingly, here are the 10 best video games to play if you love westerns and cowboys. Wild Guns was a popular Super Nintendo title that tells a story about revenge and family honor, albeit with a very cute, unassuming art design.
The game is a streamlined take on shooters and brawlers, while also lovingly re-contextualizing the classic genre. Wild Guns Reloaded doesn't lose the heart of the original title and the addition of new characters helps make this quirky western shooter become even more entertaining. The pair of Gunman Clive games are a perfect example of this. An HD collection has helped bring the games over to modern audiences and keep these games alive.
This may be a controversial selection, but with so many of the standard western and cowboy games skewing towards the same genres, TimeSplitters 2 becomes a breath of fresh air.
Best of all, it's free on Steam, so get it download now! The battle system is your traditional turn-based JRPG fare, with a few twists of its own.
The game got a number of sequels, but despite the fact Wild Arms was successful it still remains rather niche and quite a few gamers these days may not have even heard of it. It does have a legacy and like most games in this list, a cult following. If you're at all interested in the series, you can get the third game on PS4 which was recently re-released on the system alongside trophy support. In it you play as an Apache called Colton White, and you're on a quest for revenge.
The story is good but what shone above everything else was the gameplay. The amount of mini games available to do, with activities such as hunting, poker, bounty hunting and so on, really fleshed out the experience. Another cool feature in the game was the option to switch from third- to first-person during combat. Gun sold fairly well and was loved by many, a sequel was teased but nothing has ever materialised. Don't give up hope. The story is pretty good and is typically western, and was successful enough to spawn three more games in the series.
One of these is Bound in Blood which was a much more solid offering and served as a prequel to the first game. The duels in this game certainly capture the tension of the showdowns we've all seen in movies. The series then followed up with Call of Juarez: The Cartel which was set in the modern-day and adopted themes of the neo-western genre.
The last game in the series was Call of Juarez: Gunslinger which returned to the Old West theme. It wasn't connected to the other games story wise, as it tells the tale of Silas Greaves, a bounty hunter who tells of his adventures taking down famed outlaws such as Butch Cassidy.
There hasn't been a new game since , but it does have a dedicated fan base. The question is, will there be another Call of Juarez title? Red Dead Revolver was Rockstar's first foray into the western genre. Revolver didn't play like GTA; it was linear and had a number of levels.
