I've been getting quite a few emails from Xbox Live Indie Game developers asking me to either post about their game or review it for the site. I'd be glad to do either, but I need more than an email asking for a post about your game.
Fatshark released a whole slew of new info today for their upcoming Xbox Live Arcade game Lead and Gold - Gangs of the Wild West. This third person shooter "catapults the player straight into the dramatic crescendo of the Western myth. Allowing players to relive the thrills of a gunfight in classic western settings such as main street of a frontier town or the claustrophobic depths of a gold mine. Immerse yourself in gameplay drawing from a perfect mix of cool-headed player skill and the brutal close quarter brawl of the classic Western shoot out." I was about to dismiss all that as hyperbole until I watched the trailer and it looks really good. We've got a ton of details, a trailer, and screenshots.
