30: Call of Juarez – Gunslinger

The fourth game in the Call of Juarez series is its first download-only title. Gunslinger follows Silas Greaves, an over-the-top bounty hunter, whose narration carries the show and whose quest for vengeance drives the plot. Gunslinger was overlooked by many because its predecessor in the series, Call of Juarez: The Cartel, was so poorly received. In 2013, it was also unusual for a large publisher like Ubisoft to release a game in a download-only format, and many took this as a statement on the game’s quality. The game was well received, however, with many positive reviews. Gunslinger combines the pervasive, unreliable narrator of a game like Bastion with reliably fun arcade-style shooting style and a story straight out of an old west dime novel. It’s a ton of fun. Expect the game to take about 5 hours to complete. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is available for the following platforms: Windows PC (Steam) – $15 Also available in a double pack with Far Cry 4: Blood Dragon – $24.99 Playstation 3 (PSN) – $15 Xbox 360 (Xbox Live) – $15 You can follow our show on Twitter at @_shortgame Your hosts this week were: Raygan Kelly – @raygank Nate Heininger – @natestl
