The Top 7… Native American stereotypes (Feature)

Nov 24, 2008

People get pissy when stuff they consider holy is depicted profanely in videogames. Take Manchester Cathedral’s depiction in Resistance or lyrics cribbed from the Quran in LittleBigPlanet. Gamers react with their usual jaded cynicism, belittling others for daring to hold something sacred in this fast-forward age of materialistic gluttony. ...

Holiday Buyers' Guide 2006 - PSP (Feature)

Dec 6, 2006

Sony's handheld has gone through some rough patches since its release in early 2005, but it's still the most impressive piece of handheld hardware you can own for less than $300. With its big, high-definition screen and games that approach the PlayStation 2 in terms of visual quality, this is definitely the handheld of choice for players who demand top-notch ...

Gun: Showdown (Review)

Oct 24, 2006

Last fall, Activision released the western-themed shooter, Gun, one of the year's most under-appreciated titles. Overshadowed by high profile holiday releases - not to mention the spotlight-hogging launch of the Xbox 360 - it arrived on multiple consoles, mostly receiving attention for being a less-than-next-gen 360 launch title. Thankfully, this console cowboy is getting a second chance to prove its gaming grit with Gun: Showdown for the PSP, a near-perfect port of the original title that ...

Gun Showdown first look (Preview)

Aug 4, 2006

Most games tend to get badly mutilated when they get ported from consoles to handhelds, but Gun Showdown - the PSP version of last year's bloody Western revenge story - looks to be a rare exception. Instead of stripping out features to fit Gun onto the PSP, Showdown actually adds a ton of new features, play modes and even story missions. In fact, the only thing that seems to be missing is gunslinger Colton White's ability to scalp everyone he meets. So long, viscerally satisfying-but-useless ...

The blood-soaked cowboy odyssey Gun Showdown is coming to PSPs in September, and it's bringing a wide-open, free-range Wild West adventure with it.

Gun Showdown Q&A (PSP) (News)

Jun 19, 2006

Gamespot dig up the first details on Activision's upcoming PSP version of Neversoft's Western shooter.

2005's Gun was a promising but flawed action adventure game set in the Old West, from veteran developer Neversoft. The game cast you in the role of Colton White, an orphaned gunslinger who went on a guns-and-ammo-heavy journey of self-discovery through the West. The PlayStation Portable game serves as an expanded take on Neversoft's original console game, with new content that's being developed by UK-based Rebellion. Gamespot talked to associate producer Chuck Park at Activision to find out what to expect from the portable version of the game.

GUN Showdown moseying to PSP (News)

Apr 11, 2006

Publisher Activision has announced that last year's go-anywhere, kill-anything Wild West shooter GUN is sauntering its way to PSP this fall in the shape of GUN Showdown. For the uninitiated, GUN tells the decidedly un-PC story of Colton White, a hunter-turned-gunslinger out for revenge after his dad is killed. A sort of Grand Theft Equine, GUN lets players blow apart cowboy and Apache heads, steal horses and explore a decent-sized Western landscape as they take on missions and hunt for ...
