DNA Tracing GAMING’S LINEAGES EXPLORED WOLF OUT THE DOOR

FOR COLANTONIO AND HIS PEERS, SOUND HAS BEEN JUST AS IMPORTANT AS SIGHT

If you were to play a word association game involving eerie frontier adventure Weird West—and the studio behind it, Wolfeye—you would pretty quickly arrive at the idea of ‘weird wolves’. It’s a term that could easily apply to the lycanthropes that hide among the game’s nascent, ramshackle communities as blacksmiths and bank tellers, or else terrorize the former as bandits. But it’s also a great band name.
