Live out your Clint Eastwood fantasies with this brutal dally into Mexico's Wild West. There's some gold to be had, folks!

One of the telly channels has recently been spinning out all the classic Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, so this gunslinging 'anti-hero' shooter - which feels like The Outlaw Josey Wales with little tobacco chunks of Fistful Of Dollars spat in - found us in a nostalgic wave of Wild West fever. How fortuitous.

You star as a pair of sibling outlaws on the run from Confederate forces after going AWOL. After blasting your way through an American Civil War opening (which resembles a Call Of Duty game), the shooty-up shenanigans are carted off to the ruins of Mexico, where bandits, lawmen and gold make for a proper gritty comic-book yarn.

Admittedly, there's technically nothing special about its gameplay but its story and mood are full of grimey, rattlesnake-y excellence. The multiplayer modes are ace too, letting you trade bullet wounds as anything from a sniper to a gunslinger to a burly artillery man. Although to be honest, we found that playing as a sniper was a bit shit. Since when did Clint make his buck with a scope and rifle, and just standing still instead of rolling about and spitting tobacco? Our point exactly.
