"The story of Pandora's Box is one of legend. After Prometheus stole fire from gods, Zeus came up with a plan to retaliate against mankind. It's said that Zeus bestowed the box upon Pandora as a wedding gift under one condition: that she never open it. Unfortunately, Pandora also had the gift of curiosity and ultimately opened the box, unleashing all kinds of burdensome pestilence on the world. When she discovered what she had done, she quickly closed the box trapping one last thing inside: hope. The team at Spark Unlimited has brought back the legend with Legendary, and from the moment I opened the game box, it was clear that there was hope inside."
In this special 'Sadistic Santa' edition of the Black Panel Podcast, the team discusses the horrid presents they have received for Xmas, including Farming Simulator, Duke Nukem Forever and Legendary.
Looking for great games for the holidays?
In honor of Thanksgiving and real turkeys everywhere that have laid down their lives in the service of your belly, here is a small collection of PC gaming 'turkeys' we've reviewed over the last year to avoid this holiday season.
Blair Herter announces the winner of G-Phoria '09 Game Most Deserving of a Uwe Boll Movie. Nominees include 'Golden Axe: Beast Rider', 'Castlevania Judgment', 'Legendary', 'Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayer' and 'X-Blades'.
NOTHING deserves a Uwe Boll movie. That guy is simply atrocious at everything he does. I can't believe how he can make a move so stupid, I'm not kidding I got sick after watching House of the Dead. It's like he actually wants to fail. A monkey with a camera and 10 bucks can make a better movie than this guy.
"Until the law was changed in 2005, Boll was able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allowed investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allowed them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor was then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor got a tax writeoff."
And in his own words, "Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the Government."
He basically makes money even if its crap, which all of them have been.
I've already seen an Onechanbara movie. Made in Japan and campy as hell but I enjoyed it thou :)
I'm still not sold on this game...
I have all the respect in the world for these guys, but I think this one will be your run of the mill shooter with a story.
thegamerreviews.com rocks! I don't know about this game though, to me it looks pretty average at best. It has a cool concept, but to not having any unique weapons and stuff, come on! Guess we will have to wait for the game to pass final judgement.
