    Where is the game DUST? I love the drunk and the chinese guy that gave you money when you had none. "You have no money...here...5 dollar...a loan..now go..gogogog...hopeless case.."

    Punching chicken-like dudes in the head... for money... my dream job. Giant strawberries in an apocalyptic western that has dudes with glowing arms the spank Girls(?) whilst fighting them... pretty weird... Clint Eastllama who is secretly the last of his species and in turn is revered as a saviour by Native American allegories... That is where I draw the Line Monsieur Reparaz, Clint Llamawood definitely sounds better than Eastllama. Or does it...? Dunn, dunn, duuunnn!!!!

    Corny as hell I'll admit, but that Rising Zan theme was pretty kickass.

    I've yet to play many of these games, maybe I'll play some of them someday, great article Mr. Reparaz! Can't wait to hear all of you comment on these games on TalkRadar 102!

    The guys have reiterated time and time again on the podcast that they have considered all possibilities, as opposed to 'forgetting' entries, but I KNOW that they didn't think of Freddi Fish 4: The Case of the Hogfish Hustlers of Briny Gulch. That was a good Western game.

    i bought darkwatch after an entire year of looking for it, and when i got it in the mail it froze at the first level every time. :( ive yet to actually play it.

    man, I LOVED Stranger's Wrath. Too bad we will never see anoything more of it... poor Oddworld Residents :(

    Where's Mad Dog Macree?

    I thought red steel 2 was kinda weird. Ninjas in modern Utah who don't have acces to any guns from after the 30s

    I wanted to play Strangers Wrath so bad when it came out but i didn't have a xbox.

    This top 7 was just one big excuse to listen to "Johnny No More" again... well that's my excuse for singing along to the theme anyway. Rising Zannnnn~ Samurai Gun Man! Rising Zannnnn~ Johnny No More! :D

    Isn't Stranger's Wrath one of the Xbox games that are unplayable on 360? That makes it even less likely anyone will try it out. I can't even play mine anymore, since my Xbox conked out. I liked the Tin Star part best, it never really got around to the game, it was just a tirade about the oddity of the premise. Good stuff.

    Do more than just have bought the game - it's worth it.

  • Pruman - May 17, 2010 10:06 p.m.

    Always with the Okami references...I bought the game, what more do you want from me?

  • lovinmyps3 - May 17, 2010 10:06 p.m.

    I played a demo of Darkwatch. It was... interesting. It had some cool parts.

    @Destruco33 I can say the same, too bad it doesn't work on my 360, because I never got around to finishing that awesome game. I think God Hand was weirder than Stranger's Wrath and Rising Zan put together.

    Strangers Wrath made buying an Xbox justifiable for me Lol. I originally got one for Conkers Live and Reloded but that game sucked(I still had the N64 version and it was the better version imo) so I was stuck with a console I thought I would never use until I got Stranger's Lol. It was so amazing and had some of the best graphics of the time!

  • Destruco33 - May 17, 2010 9:55 p.m.

    I am proud to say that i still have my Oddworld: Strangers Wrath

    Even though I hate Westerns, this was a really good article. I never realized how weird western videogames are.

    Can't wait to hear this on Talkradar hopefully with some audio from these crazy games
