call_of_juarez.jpg"Get off ya horse and drink ya milk" - While that's a great movie line for an old Cowboys and Indians film, it's not what you expect to hear from the latest first-person shoot-em-up from Ubisoft. But the company has ridden into town with Call of Juarez for the Xbox 360.

While the game has been around on the PC since autumn last year, it make an appearence on the Microsoft console this summer. Just in time to ride off into the sunset.

The game was developed by the Techland studio in Poland (that's the country - not Poland, Iowa!). The Xbox version claims to have better graphics but also greater artificial intelligence for realistic gameplay and more challenging game characters.

Plying the game sees you in last great western frontier in Texas 1882, heading off opponents in high noon duals, shootouts (a la OK Corral) and fierce barroom fights.

Gamers play gun-for-hire Billy Candle or Reverend Ray McCall. Wrongly accused of murder, Candle must prove his innocence while being hunted down by the preacher man. Or as McCall, you hunt down the lowlife varmint!
