Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine: Gun

It was just like any other day for Colton White: He woke up in the morning, put on his moccasins, loaded up a rifle, and went out to shoot some wolves and bears with his father. That is, it was normal until his father told him he’s basically adopted and has been living a lie all these years. Plus, there’s that whole problem with the gang of former soldiers who would like nothing better than to put a tomahawk right between Colton’s eyes. Yeah, he’s got a lot on his plate, but Colton’s a pretty tough guy—the kind who could kill a man 22 times before he hit the ground. Fortunately, that killer instinct will come in handy in Gun, a Western-style action game in development at Neversoft, the creative minds behind the Tony Hawk series of skateboarding games.

Of course, being a cowboy in the Old West means you, as Colton, have to look out for yourself and be ready do whatever it takes to make a living. You can take up a life as a bounty hunter, moving from town to town while tracking down criminals; try your luck at gambling; or even become a lawman—there are plenty of occupations available, but you can never forget your ultimate goal of tracking down the leader of the ex-soldiers and learning more about your actual parents. It’s kind of like Grand Theft Auto in the sense that it lets you freely decide whether or not to perform different missions while working toward one end goal. Except there isn’t any carjacking because, well, there weren’t any cars back then. But you’ll have a reliable horse to get you from town to town and help you out in the midst of a heated gunfight.
