12 Best Western-Themed Video Games Ever

12. Red Dead Revolver

Even the folks at Rockstar couldn’t have envisaged that their little Western romp would not only end up not starting one of gaming’s soon-to-be most famous trilogies, but also giddied up the genre as a whole.

Like the developer’s Grand Theft Auto series, the game is a third-person shooter, only instead of jacking cars, the player step into the spurs of bounty hunter named Red. Striking a neat balance between telling a good story – Red’s score to settle is one you can’t help but get invested in – and some unique action in the blend of duck and cover action on display, as well as those brilliant pistol duels, Red Dead Redemption still boasts all the charm and grit that made it the franchise starter that it’s known as today.
