Saddle Up! Video Games Are Copying 'Westworld', The Western Is About To Be The New Zombie
The Western is long past its heyday. It was one of the most popular film and television genres for years as the world wanted to experience the thrill of squaring off against a bandit, rustling cattle and just living in a world where there was black and white, rarely a middle grey. It was a world all of its own and countless movies followed the legends of gunslingers for years.

Rumor: 'Assassin's Creed: Origin' Will Redefine The Franchise's Origins In 2017
