Hey everyone,

One of the games I "miss" the most since having my ps3 and xbox stolen is red dead redemption. I understand this game isn't available for the PC, so is there any decent 'western' alternatives for the pc?

Thanks,
Harry

Oh dear I think you are out of luck with PC western games. The only one I can think of is "Gun" but it wasn't exactly great.
 
Ahhhh Red Dead Redemption. I loved love Red Dead Revolver on the Xbox. The only reason I bought a 360 was for Redemption as it wasn't coming out on PC. Try 'Gun'.
 
The first Call Of Juarez was a great game, not as much of a sandbox as Red Dead but very enjoyable all the same. Graphically very nice at the time, will probably have aged a bit visually now, but I can remember being very impressed with how it looked when I played it a few years back, seem to remember some nice depth of field and HDR lighting effects.

Good story and gameplay, it has its own slant on bullet time which makes for some cool multiple takedowns. Gameplay flips between the 2 main characters, one requires stealth whilst the other is full on gunplay so a nice variation of styles, some people moaned about the stealth sections being tedious/hard but I enjoyed and got through them without major frustration.

It's the only Western themed game on PC worth your time imo.
 
Call of Juarez, both of them, are fantastic.

The oldie Outlaws is amazing too (god that music!).

Then there is Gun, but I did not play that. Western is horribly underused.

Red Dead Red was fantastic, but playing it on PS3 just made me wish all the more to be playing on PC. The low resolution, sub 30 framerate...console does not do the game justice at all.
 
Cheers for suggestions people, I remember call of juarez from the 'ladder goat' video lol... :P

Hopefully these games will satisfy my western needs hah.

Edit:

In steam I am seeing:-
Call of Juarez: The Cartel
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
Call of Juarez

What are the ones to go for? :)

I'd go for Juarez, and then Bound in Blood if you're need isn't satisfied. :p

The Cartel got pretty panned in reviews, and it's not what I'd call western. More modern day rednecks dressed as cowboys. :o
 
I played about 10 mins of Call of Juarez a few years ago on my old PC. It wouldn't run too well.

Would play it again but want it on Steam. Pity it's over a tenner.

I have just been looking around and I can find it on ebay for a fiver, but its 13 on steam. :( I don't like getting games on physical media as I always lose them lol.

Yeah I've seen around various sites for a really cheap price. Can't beat having it on Steam, though.

I think it's an OCD that a lot of us have here.
