Lead and Gold (Keen and Graev's Gaming Blog)
The setting, being a Western, is actually quite unique. I can’t think of a single Western shooter that I’ve played … ever… that has been any good. The setting lends itself nicely (combined with the whimsical fun) to game modes like “Robbery” where you have to blow up a bank vault and steal bags of gold from the other team, Powder Keg where you blow up objectives, and Greed where you deliver as many gold sacks as you can to your teams zone. The maps themselves (6) are detailed and what you would expect from a smaller game (did I mention it’s limited to something like 10 people per map — 5 per team?) and the detail goes a long way towards providing an atmosphere that mimics the old west shootout battles.
I can’t really say that the game blows me away and does anything drastically new, but it’s fun and worth mentioning since it costs a whopping $15. It’s a fun setting with interesting features. Give it a look.
