Abstract: It's good to see more and more games coming to our shelves that would once have been resigned to no more than an exclusively Eastern release. Niche Japanese titles haven't fared badly in the Western market in recent times, with games such as Earth Defence...

With so much talent behind this game it could've been so much better.

Shadows' strengths and weaknesses both lie in its preoccupation with combat. There are few games able to rival the intensity and intelligence of its gunplay, but there will also be few gamers, I suspect, satisfied with its punishing relentlessness. And wi...
The jokes are undeniably immature and the gameplay slightly repetitive, but Shadows Of The Damned remains that most rare of jokes – one that’s still funny even after the 50th time you’ve heard it. 7.9/10Print this pageComments (0)Share this pageNoticed...

Abstract: Featuring brain-eating baby heads, bleating goat busts, and a redneck demon shopkeeper, Shadows of the Damned is Suda 51’s most mainstream offering yet. Sure, this grindhouse-inspired trip through hell is twisted as all get out, even making EA’s las...
Abstract: It’s quite clear Suda 51 doesn’t think like the rest of us. Not many game designers would have the balls to design a holy cross which resembles male genitalia, show demons eating a woman’s vagina or have a hero crawl into a women’s behind to enter the ...
Abstract: As I eagerly await the next batch of horror goodness, i.e. Dead Island and Silent Hill, I got the chance to tide things over with a horrific, albeit silly action/horror game called Shadows of the Damned. If you can take this game for what it is and not...
