Time for another brand new IP from an unknown developer that everybody is going to ignore! The Scourge Project is a new third-person shooter from Spanish studio Tragnarion Studios. Tragnarion's previous work includes the iPhone game Map My Mind and ... not a lot else.
Cheat Happens - When a gaming franchise like Gears of War becomes a blockbuster, a lot of good can come from it; new mechanics, new standards, in short - the entire industry benefits. Of course, there are downsides, like the fact that every developer wants to create a clone.
Resolution's Greg Giddens writes: The past decade of FPS and third person shooter mechanics can all be found here. The Scourge Project unashamedly takes elements from a large collection of titles – most notable Gears of War – and copies them into the framework. Unfortunately any flare these elements had to begin with have been completely extinguished due to rough implementation and a lack of quality overall. It’s generic and boring with no personality of its own and despite the addition of some fairly enjoyable multiplayer components its short lived fun at best.

The demo can be downloaded from any of the four following sources...
