Sonic 296 Posted September 9, 2009 For the past couple of days I've been playing Shadow Complex. A new spin on the old jumping side scrolling platform game. This Xbox LIVE arcade game has so much playability and addictiveness its made me put Batman Arkham Asylum on hold. And the good news its only 1200 MS Points (850 MB Download). [Xbox Live Arcade] From blockbuster developers Epic Games and Chair Entertainment comes the next evolution in Xbox LIVE Arcade games. Powered by the industry-leading Unreal Engine 3, Shadow Complex is the height of old-school side-scrolling design combined with modern, cutting-edge gameplay. In Shadow Complex, gameplay is centered on exploration and fast-paced combat as you gather game-altering power-ups and an arsenal of futuristic weapons to overcome obstacles, thwart legions of enemies, and delve into a mysterious open game world. The original single-player adventure is set in a compelling universe based upon the best-selling novel, Empire, by Orson Scott Card. This completely original game features full 3-D side-scrolling action. The incredible next-gen graphics and robust physics combine with an open, evolving world design mixed with an awesome, compelling action-thriller story. Seek out 17 unique game altering power-ups, with more than 100 additional items and modifiers to discover and use. Fight against a large variety of enemies and experience massive, jaw-dropping boss battles. Pick up and play: The super-tight controls are simple and intuitive but also allow advanced players additional depth and precision. Noted scriptwriter: Shadow Complex features a script written by Peter David, one of the most popular comic book writers of all time. It's the first game to be set in Chair's Empire universe and based upon the best-selling novel by Orson Scott Card.

Sonic 296 Posted September 15, 2009 That looks quite cool. The grahpics are pretty good too. Hard to belive its the Unreal Engine actually. Anyway, I finished the game on Monday night. Good ending. One of those "Holy ****!!" moments. Enjoyed every minute of it. Apparently most gamers should get a solid 10-12 hours out of it. MOre gameplay videos.....
