Cowboys vs. Pirates [Flash]. Not a court case, just a shootin' party.

Usually I would never have given this a thought--not personally interested in games nor opposed to most games. But the lead and content of a "shootin party" just does not ring right given recent events.

True enough. The timing of this title with the Newtown Connecticut massacre was unfortunate, but I figured if anyone was still into the X + Y + Z meme, they could bookmark the link for some other time.

If you wait to release a game until something terrible hasn't recently happened in the world it will never, ever come out. Humans are just great like that.

After playing the game- fun enough, decent controls, I like that it's got multiplayer, but I'm going to go back to losing at Legend of Grimrock and those other games I got out of the new humble indie bundle.
