When I have a photoshop/drawing comp to judge, this is what I do. I save them all to a folder in my desktop. Inside that folder I make another folder called ‘possible’. That’s where all the ones I think have a chance of winning go. Then I choose the winners from the shortlist. I had to stop this time – because I had practically put every single entry into the ‘possible’ folder.
Shadows of the Damned completely took me by surprise, releasing this week when, for some weird reason, I was expecting it later this year. But it’s a pleasant surprise! I’m very keen for this game and the launch trailer, which get a bit sweary, looks great.
Alright, alright – give me a break. I just find it hard to pass up pun opportunities such as this one. Just to clarify, Shadow of the Damned is the latest game from Japanese heavyweights Suda 51 (No More Heroes) and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil), a game which features a gun called the ‘boner’ – a gun that you can fully upgrade into a ‘big boner’. Key point – it fires bones.
