Blues and Bullets

What do you get when you mix third-person cover shooting and investigation gameplay with a setting and look as noir as cigarette tar? The answer lies in Blues and Bullets, the episodic action-adventure title that has you playing as retired Untouchable Eliot Ness, who’s been asked by old nemesis Al Capone to save his kidnapped granddaughter. There’s something to be admired about the deadly seriousness Blues and Bullets adopts while combining gameplay elements and ridiculous historical fiction into something that could be a total snafu, or the first great pulp serial to come to Xbox One.
