Joystiq - Shadows of the Damned review: Hell and back

Richard Mitchell of Joystiq writes:
Combat aside, the world itself remains the star of the show. Garcia traverses a variety of locales, ranging from a tepid swamp to a demonic red light district, each punctuated with sights of his beloved Paula, who is repeatedly murdered and resurrected before his eyes. It sounds gruesome, and it is, but the narrative almost never takes itself seriously. No matter how dark the subject matter becomes, someone -- usually Johnson -- is always there to make a dick joke.

Man, I’d love to get a sequel. I wish that’s was this was instead of a remaster, but it’s such a niche title. It won’t sell gamgbusters, unfortunately.

jznrpg43d ago

I am not sure what they are looking for sales wise but it can’t be much more than it originally sold if it’s even that much. I’d guess it just needs to sell well enough but who knows what that actually is. I still have the PS3 copy not sure if I’ll buy a remaster or not.

Great game, hopefully that we will get a sequel one day

Syndicate Reboot Servers to Close

Electronic Arts has announced a number of server closures in the coming months, including Apex Mobile and the 2012 Syndicate reboot.

What online functionality did Shadows of the Damned even have?

kevco33414d ago

My thoughts exactly! Some kind of score chart I've forgotten about?

coolbeans414d ago

Syndicate's big saving grace will soon be erased for good. I'll give *some* credit to EA in keeping servers up for 10+ years.

mastershredder413d ago

Oh yeah, an actual cyberpunk game. I have fond memories of the old bullfrog Syndicates.

IamTylerDurden1413d ago

Syndicate was a fun and high quality late PS3 fps that got swallowed in the sea of fps at the time. It was short and it didn't innovate but it had good visuals and fun combat. Starbreeze i believe. Rip Torn and Rosario Dawson.
