Legendary (Review)

Dec 4, 2008

Were we a sniffy historical type, we might point out that it wasn’t Pandora’s Box at all, but rather a jar. Are jars more or less dramatic than boxes? Either way the mislabeled box in Legendary is one that contains not all the evils of the world, but generic monsters and one awesome rubble-golem the size of a block of apartments. ...

Legendary doesn't waste any time letting you warm up on the typical indistinguishable helmet-wearing marines. The first steps you take into the myth-mashed world have you dodging gigantic griffons and the cars they hurl at your face. Then, before you have a chance to get used to side-stepping two-ton birds with beaks that can snap you in half as if you were a worm in the clutches of a blue jay, they throw a car golem at you. ...

Legendary: The Box (Preview)

Jul 19, 2007

The premise behind Legendary: The Box is so simple that we're beating our heads against the wall for not thinking of it first. Take the balls-to-the-wall rush of Call of Duty, mix it with mythological creatures like golems, griffons and werewolves, then pump it full of chunky rock guitar riffs that pound through the speakers like a summer blockbuster. If that setup doesn't pique your interest, then move along to your $20 budget checkers game and make room for some real gamers starving for a ...
