Shadows of the Damned
As demon hunter Garcia "F**king" Hotspur, players must venture into Hell itself in order to rescue Paula, Garcia's innocent girlfriend, from the sadistic torments of Fleming, the Lord of Demons.
A Title With Damned Good Style, But Dated Gameplay
Shadows of the Damned is not simply your run of the mill third-person shooter game, rather this project represents years of work on the part of video game super-developers Goichi Suda, known for such… Read more
Whip out your Johnson and start firing blanks
One could argue Resident Evil 4 brought about the next-gen beginning of the third person shooter genre, and Gears of War solidified it as a solid action game. Shadows of the Damned is a third person s… Read more
A Unique Experience
Suda51 is fucking crazy. If you’ve played any one of his games, you know that he comes up with the most random but creative gameplay scenarios in video games today. Unfortunately, those creative ideas… Read more
That is one hard man.
I'm quite a big fan of the stuff Suda 51 and Shinji Mikami have created. Resident Evil 4 is without a doubt one of the greatest games ever created and Killer 7 in particular is one of my personal favo… Read more
Shadows of the Damned Review: The bullet train is here
Shadows if the Damned is the brainchild of Suda 51, Shinji Mikami and Akira Yamaoka, and it shows. Its a 3rd person shooter, but it oozes Japanese creativity and whacky design. Unfortunately, a lot of… Read more
A Supergroup That's More Cream than Chickenfoot
Supergroups sound like a great idea on paper: take established artists, clump them together in one band and let them collaborate without interference. However, the same reasons that make the supergrou… Read more
A disappointment, but not without merit.
Shadows of the Damned , in which Garcia Hotspur ventures through Hell to save his girlfriend Paula from the demon lord Fleming with the aid of his trusty sidekick, the flaming, talking skull Johnson (… Read more
Suda-51's latest is a dam good ride
Popcorn gaming is a term I am on a crusade to get into the greater gaming lexicon. It refers to those games we play that we all know are dumb, the ones that dont innovate and try to change the way all… Read more
Damned from the start
From one of the creators behind some of Japan's biggest games, Shadows of the Damned sees Shinji Yakami struggle to make a game as innovative as many other contributions to the market he has made. It… Read more
Grip your Johnson and shoot your load all over this game.
Suda51 has made some cool games in his time, Killer 7 and No and More Heroes being his best pieces of work. Despite those games having such a cool artistic style and overall presentation, that same sk… Read more
Magic Johnson has a cure for Hell's AIDS
Shadows of the Damned is an important game. Sure, it features fantastically tight gameplay, an eccentric and entertaining series of key characters, and a soundtrack you’d be more than happy to buy on… Read more
A "Trip" Worth Taking... for some
Shadows of the Damned isn’t an easy game to pin down. Sure, the gameplay itself doesn’t wildly deviate from Shinji Mikami’s previous titles, with the shooting aspect almost directly lifted from Reside… Read more
Grind house meets gaming
I have been having a rough time when it comes to the video games I have played this month. After the walking abortion that was Duke Nukem Forever, the unexpected tediousness found in Alice and the dul… Read more
Not for Everyone, but might be for you.
To say this game is polarizing is a bit of an understatement. Any technical criticisms (control, I would say are the biggest) levied against it are legitimate. However when viewed as an entire piece o… Read more
Shadows of the Damned Review
Suda 51 is back with his latest creation. This time the game has found its way on the XBOX360 and will have you playing the part of Garcia Hotspur, Demon Hunter. After another successful outing Hotspu… Read more
Suda 51 Finally Delivers
Suda 51, for me, has been the most over-rated producer out there. Killer 7 was an abjectly abysmal game with horrific gameplay but odd visuals. No More Heroes were substantially better games, but they… Read more
Shadows of the Damned Review: The bullet train is here
Shadows if the Damned is the brainchild of Suda 51, Shinji Mikami and Akira Yamaoka, and it shows. Its a 3rd person shooter, but it oozes Japanese creativity and whacky design. Unfortunately, a lot of… Read more
A Road Trip That Is Just Magnifico...
If you ever liked underrated and crazy Japanese games, you might heard of a man named Suda 51 from Grasshopper, recently known for the No More Heroes franchise. Usually with his games, he delivers an… Read more
It needs a little more thrust.
Note: this is me re-edit, I didn't want to write a second review. This was played on the 360. Minor spoilers. I will break it apart as such- a short sentence review, then a much more detailed write-up… Read more
A clunky good old time.
Played through this casually over the course of a weekend. It's definately worth a go, but I'd say it's probably a rental for most people... First of all, since it seems that some people don't know wh… Read more
My name is Garcia Hotspur. You stole my woman. Prepare to die.
The cover art for Shadows of the Damned includes a bit of text that reads, "A Suda51 Trip." When it comes to Suda51 titles, they are less like games and more like complete mind jobs, often eschewing t… Read more
Shadows of the Damned: The only time I'm happy to go to hell.
When it comes to games that bombard the player with a flurry of jokes that relate to genitalia, intercourse and other bodily functions, I usually turn my head and walk away. Shadows of the Damned is o… Read more
A tale of love, demons, and phallic jokes.
Shadows of the Damned is the second joint project of game making crazy people Goichi Suda and Shinji Mikami . Joining the crew this time is sound design genius Akira Yamaoka of Silent Hill fame. Any f… Read more
The game's devil really is in the details
This is the kind of game where the hype in the media is not enough to overtake the huge expectations from fans given the talent involved. Like a rock supergroup or the pairing of a successful actor an… Read more
Garcia F******* Hotspur.
You have to give EA a lot of credit these days providing publishing support for a new IP in a overly saturated sequel industry but Shadows does a good job of creating a possible franchise. The game st… Read more
