Game Review - originally written by Spinner 8

Imagine Link to the Past, with all the puzzles taken out, and instead you’re given a bow with infinite arrows. Oh, and all the enemies shoot at you. Now you have Gunman’s Proof. You’re a boy in the Old West who willingly becomes possessed by an alien sheriff with the intention of capturing the evil Demi, another alien who probably did some unspeakable atrocities. You live in the only town, in the center of the island, and go through a bunch of sequential dungeons before going through the last dungeon and, I assume, taking Demi down. Pow! There’s some nice additions to the gameplay, like being able to duck under the bullets that are being shot at you, and, uh, shooting diagonally and stuff. Okay, maybe, just maybe this game kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Either that or I got pissed cause I can’t beat the first dungeon boss. I suck so much.

…Anyways, this is, like everyone else will tell you, a Zelda game with a heavy emphasis on action and almost nothing to speak of concerning puzzles or thinking. And the music totally kicks ass.
(editor's note: sorry to all gamers who were hoping to play a game about a gunman doing math, there's no proofs in this game, no theorems, not even a single axiom)
