It's really no secret, we know you've been logging away hours on Gears of War 2, and want something fresh but similar to feast on. So - what if I told you that Codemasters, the creators of some interesting sleeper hits, such as Overlord, and Rise of the Argonauts, has announced a game that boasts to be similar to Gears of War 2, but let you wear more cowboy hats and draw pistols Wild West style? You know you're at least a bit curious.
The story is one of corruption, the apocalypse, and a lone(ish) gunman out to reveal the truth behind “the corporation” in a western style third person shooter. To me, this looks like a happy mix between Gears of War, and Fallout3 – but I suppose only time will tell. A preview from Videogamer.com tells us:
