Wild West Billy is hangman gone country. It’s a tremendous resource for topics, whenever you’re in the mood to play the classic game.
What’s it about?
Billy is the son of a great Western hero, but has never taken the act of being a first-rate cowboy seriously himself. That all changed the day he grew tired of being made fun of and decided to go after the latest warranted gangster to prove everyone wrong.
In order to be successful though, Billy first needs to brush up on his sharp-shooting skills, which he does via a series of hangman puzzles.
The best part of the Wild West Billy game is the sheer variety and freedom of available phrases. There is a wide range of topics (Music, Movies, T.V. Shows, Sports, United States, World, and Miscellaneous), and within each of them, subtopics (group bands, famous places, shoe brands, or U.S. magazines). You can pick a favorite to play from, go random, or even make your own topics and word sets!

Pros and cons
+ Charming animations and music.
+ You can even create your own “playlist” of choice subjects.
+ The Precise Gun can be used to break a bottle for you.
+ You get compliments for a good run.
+ You and a friend can secretly create your own games for each other (hello, naughty words!).
+ Several ways to play: single-player career, quickplay, competitive, and a “last bullet” challenge mode.
- It’s all hangman, and only hangman. A hodgepodge of word games would have given it more kick and replay value.
The verdict
The Wild West Billy game is a cute and useful way to play hangman. It’s great for kids as far as PC play, but when it comes to adults, it’s probably more ideal for those who have laptops so they can play it on an on-the-go basis.
