I've re-played a couple of 'older' games recently and (luckily) been reminded just how good some of them are.

If you've ever played Bioshock, you shouldn't be surprised that it is still such a good game. Not that it is exactly old (released only two years ago) but, having played through it on the PC shortly after release, I only picked it up for the Xbox a couple of weeks ago.

If I'm honest, I *had* forgotten just how good the game is. The setting and the atmosphere of the game is so well realised you could almost believe that some nutcase had really created this world under the sea... and that human nature, such that it is, had poisoned and destroyed it. It's so good, in fact, that although I'd already been through and completed it on the PC, I still played through it again to completion including hunting down all the upgrades and diary entries... again!

The other game I've been playing has been Gun. Only a little older to be fair (2006) but a game I personally believe has not received anywhere near the recognition it should have. A free-roaming third person shooter set in the American 'wild' west back in the 1800. It involves, obviously, a fair amount of shootouts with bandits, soldiers and Indians (which got Activision into trouble with the 'Association for American Indian Development') and plenty of riding around on a variety of horses.

The game is great fun, if a little short, and has a number of well known actors who have provided the voices for the characters: Tom Skerritt, Ron Perlman, Brad Dourif, Kris Kristofferson, Lance Henriksen and Thomas Jane.

Again, a game so good I voluntarily stayed with it till the end...

With Red Dead Redemption is fast approaching release, Gun has reminded me how good Westerns can be so I've got REALLY high hopes for Rockstar's version.
