GCHD Writes: "By the end of the second chapter, however, something happened. For starters, I began to notice how gorgeous the epic landscapes were in this game, despite some of the character animation problems. And then, the beautiful fog of war effects, the peripherally blurred gun focus as I looked down the barrel of my revolvers and rifle – all of this coupled with an exciting scripted event where the game requires you to sink a Union steamer with cannon fire, started to turn the tide. Despite the game's issues, I was really enjoying myself. I found the tactical challenge of managing the antique weapons' modest ammo capacity while taking out the gangs of sharp-shooting (though dumb) enemies to be quite compelling. The new story, which features the aforementioned Ray McCall, the Reverend from the original title, and his younger brother Thomas, both as playable characters, kept me entertained throughout. It's nothing we haven't seen in western films before, but it's a nice change from alien invasions and superhero mush. That said, the game is a bit short – my play time clocked in at less than seven hours, though I felt that I played significantly longer, considering I died a great deal after I decided I could handle the hard difficulty. The differences in the play style and of the two lead characters may warrant an additional playthrough."
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Each of these articles will be centered around a specific theme, whether that's a style of music, a specific console, or just something completely different. Also, at the end of each of these articles, I will pose a video game music related question on something usually related to the theme of the article, which you can answer in the comments below if you so wish. Each article will highlight between five and ten different tracks from various games, in no particular order.
With that in mind, let's start with a theme that's quite timely and relevant right now thanks to the recent release of Red Dead Redemption 2. The American old west has inspired countless different video games and produced some amazing pieces of music over the years, so let's have a listen to just a few such tracks."

KlStudio is currently working on a fan remake of the classic Lucas Arts’ western first-person shooter, Outlaws, in the Chrome Engine 4. This fan remake will be a mod for Call of Juarez Bound in Blood and the team has released its first gameplay footage."
It’s that time of the month again folks. The time where gamers collectively gather all over the internet to criticize what free games they get this month. So, who plundered the other's fanboys for all their self-worth and gratification in life? Who was the victor in July? Let's take a look.
