Sadly, the Xbox 360 version of Gun, while costing a full $10 more than the PS2 and Xbox versions, shows absolutely no signs of the "high production costs" the games industry is trying to ram down the collective consumer's throat to justify gouging.

It's identical in most respects, does little to buff up graphics to "new generation" standards, nor does it add any supplemental gameplay to make it seem 20% more valuable.

If they'd simply made the Xbox version Gun compatible with X360 (perhaps not so simple), then Gun's potential audience would have been that much larger. Instead, you're paying an extra ten bucks for different packing on a game that's only worth a rental in the first place. Sucker.

• [TIP: When playing Gun, place and blow up a barrel of TNT beside the chimney of the abandon house in the badlands (near the buffalo grazing ground) to reveal a hole full of unlimited ammo.]




• [TIP: Also, if you max out your playing time by finishing the game and completing all the side quests of Gun, you'll have unlocked Reed's armored horse and Macgruder's cannon shotgun, which can be found at Macgruder's mine if you play it again.]
