Campaign, co-op and multiplayer, all given a thorough going over.
Knee-jerk reviews after ten minutes' play-time. As is only right and proper.
Seriously, no offense to Call of Duty: World at War’s single player. Toiling through the Pacific and Eastern European theater, communicating with Keifer Sutherland and Gary Oldman, face melting flamethrowers that spits face-melting liquid death? We’re not complaining. You could argue that the immersive cinematic campaign helped Call of Duty 4 move 10 million copies, but it’s certainly not the reason why a healthy fraction
Most (if not all) cowboy games garble the ultra-pure western themes: revenge, greed, honor. Call of Juarez aims to stalk into Gamesville armed with these and gun down all pretenders.
This shooter is an homage to the spaghetti western, crammed with duels, wagons, Stetsons, sheriffs, quick-palmed reloads, saloons, women in peril, women in bonnets... almost every detail has a big, echoey twang of authenticity. Juarez already has a powerful sense of place.

Each player takes the role of a very different law enforcement official: an LAPD detective (Ben McCall, who is descended from the heroes of the previous entries), a DEA agent (Eddie Guerra), or an FBI operative (Kim Evans)...

Drugs are a violent business, and not just for those actively doing the crimes. Sure, drug dealers have to deal with a not-so-ideal customer base, but that's not all they have to deal with. Sometimes, the authorities get involved, and that's when things start to really get ugly. It becomes a desperate struggle to hold on to as much contraband as possible while still holding onto their lives. And that bad situation is exactly where Call of Juarez: The Cartel's objective mode drops you...

We were visiting with Bohemia Interactive on an appointment to check out the highly anticipated (in certain hardcore circles) ARMA III, but while we were waiting, another little gem caught our attention. It’s a strategy game mixed with an action game, and it has us very interested. The basic idea in Carrier Command: Gaea Mission is that you are waging a war across the 33 islands that make up...
