Steam, PSN and XBL out now between 12 and 15 bucks (and there is no UPlay!)

COJ: Gunslinger shouldn't even be carrying the Juarez title. This is a straight up linear Western FPS with some slight collectible hunting, gorgeous gun battles, a colorful environment and of course, dueling. All complimented by a stellar soundtrack.

RPS review: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/05/20/wot-i-think-call-of-juarez-gunslinger/

We got skills and upgrades:

We got a bullet time-y Concentration mode:

We got explosions:

We got pretty locales and blood:

........And finally, we got NEW GAME FUCKIN' PLUS!

So saddle up on somethin' pardner 'cuz we're about to shoot us some bad guys.

Downloading on Steam right now. Super excited, loved BiB and the trailer for this game rubbed me the right way. I need some arcade action.

It's fucking sweet man. Im having a blast so far. Forget the name Call of Juarez. Just call it Gunslinger. Treat it as though it has zero relation to past iterations of the series.

The first one is a respectable early-gen FPS, and the sequel is much improved.

It's only The Cartel that tarnishes the name of the franchise. And hopefully not this one on top of it, but I don't think so.

I just played the PS3 demo and it was fun actually. Quite liked the way they tell the story and the gameplay seemed nice, especially being able to upgrade. I never played any of the CoJ games but this one seemed cool.

Damn, this looks like a lot of fun. I enjoyed Bound In Blood, but I'm cool with having a more fun take on the series. Are there a lot of firearms to find in this game?

Really hope Ubisoft continues down this path.

I Am Alive is another 15 dollar downloadable title from them that I enjoyed quite a bit.

For real. There's been a drought of fun, B-level games - these $15 downloads that Ubi's been putting out have been a great substitute.

I only got to play about a half hour, but first impressions are excellent. The story set-up is fun, it has a nice visual style and, most importantly, the shooting feels great and is very satisfying. I can't wait to get home and play more.

PC FoV is fairly unplayable and it appears the game doesn't accept non-60hz resolutions (any of mine higher than 1620p). :(

Second one is whatever, not a big deal, but first one must be fixed. TotalBiscuit, ahoy!

Someone inform the developers at TechLand that human beings have eyes in their head, not on their forearms. I would appreciate it.

lololol the game is super smooth with the 360 controller but there's heavy micro-stuttering if you use keyboard + mouse. The Chrome Engine is such a huuuuge piece of shit.

I Am Alive is really awesome. everyone should give it a try. nothing like having to keep track of how many bullets you have andd how many baddies are in your path...makes it feel totally different.

Anyone with it on Steam that can confirm/deny it uses UPlay? I'm going to pick this up either way, but if it has UPlay I might just get it on 360 instead.

I thought it was super mediocre, but a nice warmup for The Last of Us.

Played the demo on PS3 and bought it on Steam immediately after. I'm really liking it so far.
Could use some AA though. I'll probably have to force through Inspector.

I cant really see what you're talking about, but Im guessing it's the black rough looking perimeter around the screen? Pretty sure it doesnt go away as its supposed to represent a more graphic novel panel look to it in relation to the story.

That's simply not an excuse, black bars need to take a ferry out of this world. It's a game, not a novel.

I agree, though I dont find it game killing or distracting whatsoever in this instance. Try not to let it annihilate your enjoyment.

I can't. Black bars is the bane of my existence and way too distracting / stupid. The fact that it's now a messy overlay effect, it's even more distracting.
