- Have you ever wanted to play a Half Life derivative old-school FPS with a space cowboy theme? Probably not. However, it has existed for over two decades at this point. In this analysis slash review, I take a thorough look into this obscure, underappreciated title.

I was shocked when I realized how small your channel is. Your commentary is great, you deserve way more views and subs
“I can take it”
I seriously NEED to get around to playing this game. It looks like so much fun. It’s too bad there’s those small issues that build up. It’s crazy how they got a tank section working in Gold Source. There’s this cancelled Half-Life expansion called Hostile Takeover where you’d be at this industrial facility that collects Xen stuff for Black Mesa and you’d have to fight off the military with the help of the Team Fortress Classic characters. At a certain point in the game they were supposed to have vehicle sections and destructible environments. This game shows that shockingly would’ve been possible, albeit super janky. The lead guy said he has the builds in his house and is thinking about releasing it. Let’s hope that happens.
I LOVE how INSANE the weapons and enemies are. It’s really too bad a lot of games stopped doing these really stupid over the top designs that would be horribly impractical in a realistic setting, but more than make up for it because they’re cool.
I remember seeing that fake screenshot back in the day. Although, I remembered it as leaked concept art or a fake screenshot for Bungie’s nonexistent Halo 4 on the Xbox 760 (remember the “leaks” for that console back in the day? I LOVE how horribly impractical the controller and console were. That would’ve been so funny if that was real. Same goes for stuff like the Wii Phone😂). The people who thought it was real assumed it was a new Flood form or some alien animal. It’s funny how like you said it meshes really well with Halo’s art style at the time. Do you think you might cover the Halos, or probably not since they’ve been done to death by other people and it would get in the way of your theme of old/obscure game reviews?
That's interesting, I actually wasn't aware that GoldSrc vehicles were a big deal. I guess it's no wonder they were so eager to show off the tank in the tutorial.
Yeah, I really, really love the designs in this game. It's one of those games that feels like a mish-mash of ideas to an extent, but ends up being surprisingly cohesive overall.
I'm unsure if I'll cover Halo, mostly because it's an extremely popular franchise. I do have an old document from a planned video about Halo CE's level design laying around somewhere. There's a slim chance I'll get around to reviving that project. But I I spent a couple minutes talking about Halo in my Singularity video. So for now, that's probably the closest I'll get to a Halo review.
That shotgun is blocky and thicc very nice
great video
I still have a CD with this game, haha. Not sure if it's official (probably not).
I see you also set the shotgun to quad mode 🧐
My favorite part of Gunman was when John Gunman said "It's Gunman time" and then gunmaned all over those dudes
Over 10 GUNMILLION copies sold and counting! #Gunmansweep
Does it include the introductory cutscene? Because that thing was amazing.
I miss mods like this. I'd also recommend checking out Half Life Paranoia.
i loved this game when i was a kid. so imagine my surprise when i remember about its existence, look it up on youtube by upload date and see a video just 2 days old. it's a good and fair review, i like it, so you got yourself a new subscriber
and im posting this after watching the legendary review, of which i have a whopping 37 minutes of play time. couldnt play beyond the... subway part? idk right after the beginning of the apocalypse on the street, so thanks
anyway good couple of vids, though i have to watch the other reviews. i'll be willing to wait for more if you're willing to make em. take care
I followed the development on this for a bit via magazines and was sooo excited to play it. It’s… weird. I was a tad disappointed with the story, especially the rogue AI arc, and it ends with a whimper lol. Still, super ambitious but strangely hard. The sounds effects were crunchy as hell.
This is a pretty cool video. I actually made a video about Gunman Chronicles not too long ago
Also: I CAN TAKE IT!
I was wondering if I would see you here
