Now Playing: DarkWatch

 It's high noon, and Halloween is nigh...
Welcome to a Vampire Western. We've got Cowboys VS Aliens too, all we need now is Samurai vs Cowboys.
 Alright, it's not high noon, but every good Western starts like that, right? It's the month of Halloween, also known as the best month of the year, and what a better way to start it with than with High Moon Studios' Darkwatch, a criminally forgotten FPS with vampires, cowboys and six-shooters.

 I've done the first few stages, just finished the cemetery, and it's been quite decent so far. A few of the shoot-outs were a bit on the boring side, since enemies are too slow and far too sparse for the wide-large areas, but it's otherwise pretty good. I like the art direction, although this 'Tala' chaaracter, which I came upon searching for the game's cover, is an awful, terrible character design that must've come out of a 12 year old's mind.
