About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

Read more for details and screens...

Riding his trusty horse through the Wild West, Fenimore Filimore happens upon a small farming community in trouble. John Starek, a greedy rancher, has set his sites on the town and will stop at nothing to take over the land. Quaking in their boots, the community turns to Fenimore for help. A natural-born hero, Fenimore saddles up for stand-offs, gunfights and jailbreaks. He also becomes enchanted with the lovely school teacher, Rhiannon, who just happens to be Starek's niece. Take on the role of Fenimore Filimore to save the town, get the girl, and ride off into the sunset.

Combining the best of classic graphic adventures with the freedom and playability of an RPG, Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure is riddled with humor, action and suspense. Players will explore eight eye-popping locations and interact with a supporting cast of more than 30 crazy 3D characters. Gamers are rewarded with more than 40 minutes of real-time 3D cinematic cut-scenes upon solving numerous puzzles and mini-games. The new proprietary engine allows for facial expressions and character movement identical to those of the best 3D cartoons today.

WANTED: A Wild Western Adventure was previously released in Europe under the title The Westerner. Developed by Revistonic with script editing by award-nominated Writer-Designer Steve Ince, the game has an expected ESRB rating of 'T' for Teen and will ship early this Fall.
