Edge writes: "Bad news. Charles Deckard, gentleman thief, has opened Pandora's Box. The real one, which turns out to have been quietly on display in the New York Met all these years. The consequences? An eruption of mythical animals flowing through Manhattan, and reducing the world to a crumbling, September 11-influenced wasteland.
If the alternate history of Turning Point: Fall of Liberty saw developer Spark Unlimited take its first steps towards something other than bloody-minded realism, Legendary sees it running full pelt at fantasy. But the company is determined to tackle the mythical subject matter in as believable a manner as possible. That's why Legendary's beasts are powered by animal logic rather than magic attacks: werewolves are urban predators, minotaurs snort and charge like raging bulls, and griffons flock the skies before swooping in on their prey, eagle-style. Behind the direct-to-video intrigue, the real focus here is on the emergent possibilities of three-way combat, as Deckard fights both monster and man (in the form of an underground army called the Black Order), playing one group against the other whenever possible."

Blair Herter announces the winner of G-Phoria '09 Game Most Deserving of a Uwe Boll Movie. Nominees include 'Golden Axe: Beast Rider', 'Castlevania Judgment', 'Legendary', 'Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayer' and 'X-Blades'.
NOTHING deserves a Uwe Boll movie. That guy is simply atrocious at everything he does. I can't believe how he can make a move so stupid, I'm not kidding I got sick after watching House of the Dead. It's like he actually wants to fail. A monkey with a camera and 10 bucks can make a better movie than this guy.
I've already seen an Onechanbara movie. Made in Japan and campy as hell but I enjoyed it thou :)
