About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'GUN' (NGC/PS2/Xbox/X360/PC) Gets Hollywood Voice Talent

by Judy on Sept. 28, 2005 @ 1:20 p.m. PDT

Gun will be a GTA-style game, set in the West in the 1880s, in cities such as Dodge City and New Mexico's Las Vegas. The murderous 'Dodge City Gang' has been on a rampage and you seek revenge, hunting them down between Indians and Mexican pistoleros. Main mode of transportation is any horse you can find or steal, and of course, Gun will include high speed "horse" pursuits.

Developed by Neversoft Entertainment, GUN takes gamers to the untamed West of the late-1800s where greed, lust and murder are rampant.

"This amazing cast of renowned, talented Hollywood actors brings the rich storyline of GUN to life," said Dusty Welch, vice president of global brand management for Activision Publishing. "Players this fall will get to experience the brutality that was the American West and through this voice talent feel like they are part of the action."

In addition to its extraordinary voice talent, GUN boasts top screenwriting and musical scores. Hollywood screenwriter Randall Jahnson (Mask of Zorro, The Doors) penned the engrossing storyline and plot progression that will transport players back in time to the lawless West. Videogame soundtrack veteran Christopher Lennertz produced and composed the score for GUN. The music was performed by the Northwest Sinfonia using an 80 piece orchestra.

As Colton White, players must straddle the line between good and evil as they showdown against corrupt lawmen, a murderous preacher, renegade army psychopaths, merciless outlaws and unforgiving Native Americans, while waging war on horseback, collecting bounties, and commandeering trains. Players travel through an action-packed landscape of high mountain wilderness, deserts and bustling territorial towns in an epic story of betrayal, greed, and revenge.

GUN is slated for release this fall for the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, and Windows PC. The game is rated "M" ("Mature" – Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Use of Alcohol) by the ESRB.
