Call of Juarez 360 Bound
Ubisoft sent us word today that Call of Juarez, a Western themed shooter previously announced only for the PC, will be joining the Xbox 360 library this summer for a simultaneous release in North America. Polish development house Techland will be responsible for bringing its PC title, which has already been released in Europe, to the console. Call of Juarez is set in Texas in 1882 and features a campaign that puts players in the shoes of two opposing characters. The first is Billy Candle, an outlaw who stands accused of murdering his mother and stepfather. This guy uses a bow and works his way through situations using stealth and brains. The other main character, Ray McCall (the brother of Billy's stepfather), is a gunslinger with a six shooter and a belief that the Lord has chosen him to slay the wicked. In this case, the wicked happens to be the aforementioned Billy. While following the characters' intermingling stories, players will find themselves in the midst of duels, barroom fights, train robberies and classic Western shootouts. Call of Juarez will be the second Western themed game on the Xbox 360 after Gun, one of the original launch titles from 2005. The Xbox 360 version will have full Xbox Live support with several different modes of play including the standard death match, retrieval, and attack and defend.Source: http://www.ign.com
