MediaKick Review: Shadows Of The Damned

MediaKick: "A bit of background might be needed for those who don’t follow the lives of Japanese game developers. Shinji Mikami has become widely known as the father of survival horror, thanks to his creation of the Resident Evil franchise, including the overhaul of Resident Evil 4. Suda 51 (a pun-based nickname in Japanese for real name Goichi Suda,) is the man who stunned us all with the likes of No More Heroes and Killer 7. Both have joined their creative forces together, alongside Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka to bring us Shadows of the Damned. But with all these big names on board doing their own thing, is the game a collective masterpiece or are there a few creative disagreements?"

Man I dunno, I rented this out tonight and I was thoroughly enjoying it. Yes, it may not be the most polished game out there, but its got some good humor (if not too many phallic jokes)and some interesting concepts. The whole darkness thing has presented some good action scenarios. I think C is a bit harsh, I would have placed it in the B's.

bebojet4700d ago

Agreed, this game at least deserves a B. I'm on my second play through on Legion Hunter and still enjoying it.

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.

jznrpg50d 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.

MadLad421d ago

What online functionality did Shadows of the Damned even have?

kevco33421d ago

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

coolbeans421d 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.

mastershredder420d ago

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

IamTylerDurden1420d 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.
