And You Thought Mass Effect 3′s Ending Was Bad…

When people get all misty-eyed about the amazing, original Syndicate from 1993, they often overlook something. The game’s ending. Or, to be more accurate, its complete lack of one.

Let’s Watch The Intro To Syndicate, Circa 1993

The single best piece of video game news today is that the original Syndicate is now on sale over on Good Old Games for $US6. You’ll get more fun out of that game than you will most games costing 10x as much.

EA Working On New Syndicate Title

Cast your minds back to February, and you’ll remember some excitement surrounding the revelation Starbreeze had been tapped by EA to work on one of the company’s “classic” franchises.

It is instead Syndicate, which EA didn’t develop (Peter Molyneux’s Bullfrog did), but which they do own the rights to. Exciting news, if also a little terrifying, since the chances of another studio capturing the feel of the original are – as we’ve already seen – slim.
