Shadows Of The Damned!



http://www.ea.com/shadows-of-the-damned


If you like 3rd person action/shooter/survival horror type games (like Resident Evil 4) you will want to play this!

You play as Garcia Hotspur, a Demon Hunter searching for the demon (Fleming) that kidnapped his girlfriend (Paula) and took her to the Underworld.

Your main weapon, a ghostly skull of an English demon called Johnson, transforms from a torch that lights your surrounding area, to a pistol called 'Boner' and shotgun called 'Monocussioner'.

So far, the game is funny and twisted all at the same time. Your checkpoints/auto saves are in the form of a burning turd (dropped from the arse of a flying eyeball called Willy) and your energy refills are Hot Sake, Tequila and Absinthe! The locks on the gates are babies heads that you have to feed certain things, like strawberries (WTF!) and brains!

Was coming, isn't now and my bad, I misread your post didn't realise it was a 3rd person shooter, I thought you just came in to blast the game

Yea, I am not about to get into that pay 60 dollars nonsense for a game. No matter how you slice that cake, your getting ripped off. Game devs make millions as it is.
Still wish it'd come out on pc though, looks fun.

a lot of publishers are pricing PC titles at $59.99.

you can buy, rent, trade or sell titles on console. you can rent Shadows of the Damned online or buy it when it drops to $39.99 in a week or so.

I think it's about 10 hours worth of solid gameplay.

if you don't fancy shelling out £40/$60 for it. Rent it. It is WELL worth a rental! PLUS, the replay value is quite poor because you don't get a 'New Game +' option
