I’m not always the biggest fan of being sneaky in video games, but the way it works in Blood West is fantastic. Stealth is often the best way to tackle a situation, and armed with your trusty rocks you can distract the baddies and get around almost any horde of monsters. Running in all guns blazing won’t get you far though in Blood West, because the enemies are ridiculously tough and there are loads of them. Just like the classics you even have the ability to lean around corners, which I always appreciate in an FPS. Fortunately the gunplay feels great, with perfect controls on mouse and keyboard (and perfectly reasonable controls on Steam Deck with a bit of tweaking too), and lovely chunky shotguns and revolvers to fire. ![]() Now that you’re here there are plenty of suspicious locations in the desert that could be worth checking out to find out more, so you head out to do just that and might happen to find some loot along the way.Īs this is an FPS, you’d better believe you’ll be doing a decent amount of shooting. Chatting with one of the locals reveals that you were apparently dead and buried until very recently, and some sort of dark magic means you just won’t stay that way. In Blood West you wake up in the middle of a barren wasteland, with no idea how you got there. Blood West feels like a throwback to that golden age of FPS games, but with some modern design elements that I just love. ![]() All time classics like Half-Life, Deus Ex and Thief evolved the genre beyond the running and gunning of DOOM, and paved the way for the modern games we all know and love. The rivalry of these gangs started out over control of the neighborhoods initially but now is more to gain control over the criminal and illegal activities.Now I’ve played countless shooting games over the years, but in the early days of the FPS you can’t argue that the PC had it best. Crip gang members associate with the color blue in their dresses while the Bloods associate with the color red.ģ. Bloods was formed with rival gangs coming together to counter the rise of Crips with the main being Piru Street Boys.Ģ. Crips was formed in 1969 by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams deciding to join their gangs. The sets on the eastern coast became associated with United Bloods Nation or UBN and this too soon came to be known as only Bloods.ġ. The influence spread across the United States in a few years. The smaller gangs associated with the alliance began to be known as sets. The members of the Bloods have a particular affinity for the color red in the clothing to identify themselves. The gang formed out of this alliance came to be known as Bloods. ![]() The main among them were the Pirus or the Piru Street Boys. It was in this time that some of the non-Crip gangs got together to form an alliance. The Crips began to target other gangs as they grew in size. ![]() The gang members were primarily African Americans and had a particular affinity for blue color in their dressing. However, as more and more local gangs joined in and made Crips one of the largest associations of street gangs, his influence diminished till finally he was shot dead in 1979. Washington disliked guns and preferred to settle all differences by hand to hand fights. Raymond Washington united his gang with that of Stanley Williams from the east and west side of Los Angles to form an alliance to protect their areas of influence. The gang initially propagated the philosophy that it wanted to protect its neighborhood from outsiders but this claim soon faded away and the gang was openly involved in various criminal activities including robbery, murders, drug dealings, etc. Raymond Washington formed a gang by the name Baby Avenues or Avenue Cribs signifying the young age of the members of the gang. The main gang that formed the Bloods was Piru Street Boys. Bloods was mainly a gang formed by smaller street gangs coming together to counter the growing influence of the Crips. Crips was a gang formed in Los Angeles, USA in the late sixties and early seventies.
