    Ahhhh how I loved GUN…. it became way way better the instant you took off the aiming reticule.. before that I had found it a little easy.. but being able to whip around and headshot someone from horseback with a rifle is immensely satisfying.

  6. The Hammer says:

    Hahahahahaa!

    Excellent mixing of two otherwise completely separate games.

    report

  7. Gap Gen says:

    Are we gonna see the ‘black’ episode that got ‘banned’ from PCG on here?

    report

  8. The Shed says:

    GUN was fun, and this strip captures the horror of the Wild West so profoundly. Not to mention realistically!

    report

  9. Jachap says:

    The scalped man is checking the damage in a mirror. That’s awesome.

    report

  10. Simon van Alphen says:

    Missed a spot. Specifically, the camera would always turn away whenever a male character was going to die a cutscene death.
    (female character cutscene death was of course always in full, multi-angle, slo-mo, extra-gruesome view)

    report

  11. Simon:
