Damnation


As you play through the game, it becomes painfully obvious that the plot is the same, timeless, good-versus-evil guff that you’ve heard a hundred times before. It all adds up to one (excuse the pun) epic failure.

Damnation is a glowing example of how technology in the wrong hands can lead to disaster. Now, when we say this, are we referring to the story, which sees you taking on an army of evil robots in an alternative, steampunk version of the US Civil war? Or are we referring to the fact that Blue Omega have made one of the worst Unreal Engine-powered games we’ve ever seen? Hmm… ...

The Wild Wild West gets wilder in this Western steampunk shooter
Feb 27, 2009
For those who can’t seem to make up their mind between buying a new shooter or a platformer, now you can have both in Blue Omega’s upcoming release, Damnation. The game takes place in an alternate future, as though the American Civil War has dragged on well into the 22nd century. You play as Captain Hamilton Rourke, who leads a guerrilla resistance force called the Peacekeepers. We were able to get our hands on some gameplay at last week’s Codemasters Gamers’ Day 2009, but with the release date only a month away, we could only hope that the final build will show some improvements. ...   » Read Full Damnation preview

There’s not much civility to be found in this alternate civil war
Sep 9, 2008
To fully understand what Damnation is about, you have to forget about Gears of War 2. Forget that they’re both third-person shooters. Forget that they both use the same satisfying over-the-shoulder aiming method. Forget that both have the same darkened ‘ruined beauty’ visual style that is the Unreal Engine’s trademark. ...   » Read Full Damnation preview

Less rootin', more shootin' as cowboy goes steampunk
Apr 4, 2008
Maybe Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi had a point. The Lone Rangers might have been a terrible name for a band, but at least the three airheads realised that you’re guaranteed a longer lifespan as a unit. So while Captain Rouke apes the quintessential Eastwood-loner, he’s going to be a few bullet holes short of a brain if he decides to go it alone. ...   » Read Full Damnation preview

This one's been in the works for a while now.

The main character's hat isn't doing him any favors -- it's too big or something.
