While it's by no means a classic, I have a certain fondness for Deadline Games' Total Overdose, a title that melded sandbox, GTA-style violence with a cartoony style and ridiculously over-the-top showmanship. It's with great joy then, that I hear tell of a brand new IP coming from Deadline, with the classy name of Faith and a .45.
Described as a "Bonnie and Clyde" style adventure, Faith and a .45 is to be set in the Great Depression era, certainly something you don't often see as a backdrop in videogames. The story revolves around a gunslinging pair who are out to stop the evil oilman that wants them dead.
Whether you liked Total Overdose or not, you have to give Deadline points for an original game premise. If the gameplay turns out to be as catchy as the name, Faith and a .45 could be one to watch in the future.

Or at least live out my Grapes of Wrath fantasies... mowing down people leaving the dustbowl with a hail of gunfire. Take that John Steinbeck
TOO SOON!
I'll keep my radar on this one.
I haven't seen that movie in like 10 years but I remember it was pretty good and was about robbery and murder.
Still it sounds like a great game
The console ports of the game sucked but the PC version was excellent.
But I'm really digging the redhead with freckles. She looks spunky. Here's hoping the character have some actual depth and that the voice actors, if any, have some talent as well.
At least it'll be fun to wield a Tommy Gun, I hope.
Please, dear god, don't let it be Kane and Lynch with a chick.
I am hard to please.
Finally a perfect character for me to cosplay at conventions.
It would be like just dressing up as me after a few days in the sun to get the frecks. :)
