Ok before you say anything I realize that it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything in the game section, so I won’t belittle you with excuses. What I will tell you is that at least when I do post something it’s at least interesting.

Today’s game that I want to draw attention to is the newly announced shooter from Deadline Games called Faith and a .45. The game is a third person shooter co-op shooter a-la Gears of War, set against the backdrop of the Great Depression. It features main characters Luke and Ruby in a Bonnie and Clyde-esque theme of them being a set of outlaw lovers on the run. The cool thing about this game (other than the name) is the fact that it is supposed to function very similarly to the way that GOW handled in that a friend can join the game at anytime taking over the role of Ruby.

Also very similar to Gears is the way that if Luke takes enough damage, Ruby can come in and give the “kiss of life” to him to keep him in the fight. One of the other things is that if you were to go at this game alone, the A.I. controlled Ruby is supposed to be able to handle her own instead of just getting in the way (*cough Dom cough*).

To say that I’m looking very forward to this would be an understatement, especially when you consider that I just got the wife to start playing Halo 3 with me and one of her complaints was that it sure would be a lot easier on her if she could see her character all the time instead of the first person viewpoint. Add to that the fact that I’m a sucker for redheads and I’ve got myself the first game of ‘08 that I’m looking forward to.*

*MGS4 goes without saying
