EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: shadowsofthedamned
The latest word out of Japanese videogame magazine Famitsu is that the next development collaboration between Grasshopper Manufacture (No More Heroes, Shadows of the Damned) and Kadokawa Games (Lollipop Chainsaw) will result in the creation of a game known as ‘Killer is Dead,’ and no, it’s not a sequel to Killer 7.
A little while ago, El33tonline and EA South Africa gave readers the chance to win Shadows of the Damned on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the latest game from the twisted mind of Suda51 and his collaborator Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil, Vanquish).
Shadows of the Damned is intense indeed - you can read El33tonline’s review of the game to find out all about the creepy environments, oppressive mood and horrific enemies that all form part of this excellent third-person action adventure title.
As for El33tonline’s competition to win the game, we asked you to play our specially created web game to vanquish a few monster you’ll encounter in Shadows of the Damned to gain entry to the contest, and enter you did!
Who won Xbox 360 and PS3 copies of Shadows of the Damned?
Shadows of the Damned is a game about tragedy, despair and desperation. It’s a game about foul-mouthed, hideous and nightmarish demons, damned to an excruciating existence in the gloomy, unique vision of Hell presented by Suda51 and developer Grasshopper Manufacture. Despite the game’s oppressive themes and atmosphere, however, and in amongst the darkness and torment, Shadows of the Damned is also a game about unbridled defiance, boundless hope and the never-ending battle between the powers of Good and Evil, with a few big-hearted and helpful demons at hand to light the path towards victory.
Occasionally, your path will also be lit by glowing feces dropped by a bat-like creature with one eye, and you’ll hold regular conversations with a talking skull with a British accent. Sometimes, you’ll need to consume a human heart to survive in the world, and you may even witness a dozen severed heads rolling down a ramp. Shadows of the Damned is about all of these things and more, but nothing can quite prepare you for what you will see.

Shadows of the Damned recently launched around the world to give us a glimpse into the twisted minds of Suda 51 (Killer 7, No More Heroes) and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil, Vanquish), and you could win a copy of the zany and incredibly intense action game on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3!
In the latest game from Suda 51 and Shinji Mikami, Shadows of the Damned, you’ll take on the mantle of professional demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, who is on a quest to save the love of his life from the evil clutches of the ‘Lord of Demons.’
Using the power of light to overcome the darkness of hell, Garcia must defeat horrifying creatures and solve challenging light- and dark-oriented puzzles to continue on his journey to rescue his beloved Paula. Garcia won’t be alone on his adventures, however, as the trusty, useful and helpful demon ‘Johnson’ will be along for the ride, and is able to transform into a variety of powerful weapons to help Garcia destroy his enemies.

Steel your nerves, though - it’s kinda’ creepy!
The end of the week can only mean one thing here at El33tonline - a brand new edition of El33t’s Pre-W33kend Post!
We’re falling into the depths of Winter here and that always makes for the best gaming weather, which is a good thing, too, because all of us here at El33tonline have tons of gaming to be done!
After bringing a few awesome competitions to a close this week, we introduced a few new ones for you to take part in, but… wait until next week when we’ve got a few new and exciting contests for you to enter - don’t miss them!
That’s next week, though. What’s the team at El33tonline up to this weekend? Find out below and let us know what games you’ll be playing:
There’s no stopping Zumba Fitness!
The game has once again claimed the No. 1 spot on Chart Track’s UK Software Sales listing this week, with a massive 33% increase in sales over the week previous.
Interestingly, Chart Track says that this past week represents the second highest sales week for Zumba Fitness, and outsold games appearing in the next three positions combined. Chart Track goes on to explain that the game’s best sales week earlier this year only allowed it to reach No. 2 on the chart, after Crysis 2.
What are those next three games that Zumba Fitness managed to outstrip in terms of unit sales this week?
If you’re a fan of gobs of horror and dollops of creep in your games, then you’ve certainly come to the right week, but if you’re more into the destruction of gigantic robotic creatures, or you enjoy playing mini-games with your friends, then the games releasing today in South Africa, the UK and Europe have you covered!
This week the world will finally get to experience a strange, hellish and inspired collaboration between Suda 51 (Killer 7, No More Heroes) and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil, Vanquish), because the pair’s latest action game has arrived in the US, and will become available in Europe, the UK, South Africa and other territories later this week.
Can you handle Shadows of the Damned?
Before answering, we think you should first watch the launch trailer for this hectic journey through a most unique vision of hell:
We’re able stay afloat this week in terms of worldwide videogame releases with a much-delayed horror-themed first-person shooter, a new entry to a fan-favourite action RPG, at least two ‘movie related’ games for massive film properties, and a brand new title from the minds of Suda ‘No More Heroes’ 51 and Shinji ‘Resident Evil’ Mikami.
Catch El33tonline’s round-up of this week’s worldwide game releases to see what you may or may not be spending your hard-earned on over the next seven days:
This month is packed to the bursting brim with exciting, important, explosive and otherwise amazing videogames, and may just represent the best month of gaming we’ve enjoyed so far in 2011.
We’ve rounded up a list of titles releasing over the next few weeks of June, and members of El33tonline talk about the games they’re most looking forward to getting their hands on from now until the month’s dying breath.
Did we mention June is packed with games? Is it ever:
EA has released three new screenshots for Shadows of the Damned, and featuring a Reaper as well as an Electrodiode Demon they’re sure to creep you out just a little.
If you go into the latest trailer for Shadows of the Damned knowing that Suda 51 and Shinji Mikami are working on this horror-themed action title, then the events portrayed in the video won’t seem too strange – these are the developers behind No More Heroes and Vanquish, after all!
If you’re not familiar with the off-the-cuff craziness that these personalities can bring to any given game, then you’re in for a wild journey of discovery (although the part where living gates hungrily gobble down strawberries is still bizarre):
If you’re looking to “enlarge your Johnson” in EA’s upcoming intense action game Shadows of the Damned, then you’ve come to exactly the right place.
