Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West
Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2010 10:04 pm
It's sort of like TF2 set in the west with lots of game modes and reviving your teammates. Good fun! $13.49 on steam now or $14.99 when it releases on April 8th. You get access to the beta right now, which installs automatically as the game itself.
It's a lot of fun, limited weapons and special ability per class, 5 per team so games remain small but involved, some unique gameplay not done all in one game before. However it has a few caveats so far and I'll save you the trouble if these are deal breakers for you: there is currently no option for a dedicated server. There is no in-game voice chat so friends need to use vent or other software. I'm not sure if you can join your friends or if it's always just random team placement but I never picked a team. The game has experience and leveling, but it's per match, not persistent and permanent. So it's closer to Enemy Territory than it is to Modern Warfare.
For less than $15 I think it's worth it even if the community dies within a year. It's some unique fun and small creative devs should get our support!

Not sure I like the turrets but they are not super close to objectives.
