A Day In The Life Of A Demon Hunter With Shadows Of The Damned
Goichi Suda, or Suda 51 as he is affectionately known – the head of Grasshopper Manufacture Inc. and director of such cult hits as Killer 7 and No More Heroes – has always had a hard time selling his games to the general public. Well this time, with Shadows of the Damned, he has the marketing might of Electronic Arts on his side, but the game still didn’t even make the top twenty chart for sales in the UK, coming in at number 31 for the week. To try and help build some momentum for the game, EA have released another new trailer for the game – this time a more comical look at certain crazy, over-the-top aspects of the title, that are typical of a Suda 51 game.
Heavily influenced by grindhouse-style projects, Shadows of the Damned takes gamers on a demented journey through a tortured underworld where death and destruction are around every corner. Playing as professional demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, gamers must harness the power of the light to save Paula – the love of his life – from the Lord of Demons. Manipulating this balance of light versus dark gameplay in different settings and scenarios, gamers can discover new ways to defeat vicious enemies and solve mind-boggling puzzles. Along this hellish adventure, players will be aided by Johnson, a former demon with the ability to transform into an arsenal of upgradeable, supernatural weapons, giving Garcia the power to rip apart the forces of the damned and ultimately protect what he loves most.

Developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, Shadows of the Damned is now available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
