TalkRadar 26 – OXM, PTOM fight! (Feature)

Nov 7, 2008

Can you believe it? T-Dar is officially half a year old! Dan Amrich from OXM and Scott Butterworth of PTOM fame team up with Chris and Brett to make this a podcast for the ages... if ages were determined by discussions about videogame presidents, Gears of War 2 and how to get kicked off Xbox Live. ...

Legendary (Review)

Nov 4, 2008

There’s a lot that’s cool about Legendary, in theory. The opening level is a tour-de-awesome that’s fifty percent “Oh hey, everything’s exploding!”, and fifty percent “I hope I get to shoot something soon”. The story is simple – you’re an art thief who was tricked into opening Pandora’s Box, and you’ve unleashed the creatures of myth into the modern world. ...

TalkRadar 25 – oooh, scary! (Feature)

Oct 31, 2008

Hope your ass is in-costume for our moderately special 25th episode of TalkRadar. This time we’re chatting up the least scary moments in otherwise scary games, then Charlie dares to suggest that games are, in fact, never scary. Then we fight about Silent Hill 2.

Also: all the usual BS we yap about every week, lovingly accentuated with profanity, sound effects and allegations that no judge or jury could ever prove. ...

Legendary's Bestiary (Feature)

Oct 31, 2008

Currently we are at the start of a blizzard of high profile games, which will eventually lead to an avalanche before the year is over. One game, out next week, is the long awaited Legendary, formerly subtitled The Box. The titular box is Pandora’s, which unleashes mythological monsters all over the modern world. We got some dirt on these beasts straight from the publisher, which we now share with you, gentle reader. ...

Legendary screens (with lighting this time) (News)

Jun 24, 2008

Unlike the screens released last week, you can actually see what's happening in this new batch of shots from Atari's dark shooter, Legendary.

The plot tells of a Charles Deckard - "an art thief who is duped into stealing Pandora's Box. When he inadvertently opens it, he releases hordes of beasts thought to be fictional - such as werewolves and gryphons - into an unprepared modern world."

Then it all kicks off as man and ...

A griffon destroying a cop car (News)

Jun 23, 2008

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. ...

This year's darkest shooter? (News)

Jun 18, 2008

You can use the darkness of shadows to achieve a spooky ambience, but go too far and you get a blind man, like these shots of FPS, Legendary.The game features a "mix of real-world locations like New York and London, mythical beasties and your typical FPS run 'n' gun gameplay," and you can read more about that in Playstation World Magazine's preview.

Although quite dark, it's actually not looking too bad. Let's just hope it's ...

EIEIO 2008 (News)

Mar 13, 2008

Yeah, we'll give E3 its props. But the last thing we needed is another ginormous game expo that lets the big boy publishers hog the spotlight and peddle their billion dollar franchises front and center. Enter the grassroots showcase, Expo for Interactive Entertainment: Independent and Original - or more preferably pronounced as the sing-songy EIEIO. ...

Legendary - hands-on (Preview)

Mar 13, 2008

Poor, poor Charles Deckard. As the unenviable thief duped into opening Pandora’s Box, he’s now the unlucky bastard caught between a plague of mythical hell-beasts and two ancient, warring factions that wish to control them. A battle unlike any other is now upon us all. Minotaurs, werewolves and golems: oh my! In our last hands-on with Legendary (formerly Legendary: The Box), we bravely fought bloodthirsty griffins in the streets of ...

Legendary: The Box - hands-on (Preview)

Nov 14, 2007

According to legends of the ancient Greeks, who gave the West everything from Aristotle to organized orgies, Zeus decided to give mankind the first woman, Pandora. It was meant to be a punishment to us all for stealing fire from the gods. But we're glad Mr. Lightning bolts gave us Pandora and her box of evils. If he didn't, we wouldn't have Legendary: The Box to look forward to. You'll start off as Charles Decker, an art thief who unwittingly winds up opening Pandora 's Box in the New York ...

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 ...

Legendary: The Box opens (News)

Jul 10, 2007

Publisher Gamecock has announced Legendary: The Box, a new FPS franchise developed by Spark Unlimited and due for release in 2008 on PC and "next-gen platforms." So, PS3 and Xbox 360, in other words. The driving force behind Legendary is Pandora's Box, stolen by a thief and foolishly torn open, unleashing all kinds of mythological biohazard upon the world. The resulting chaos - which, from the latest screenshots, comes across as half Resistance, half The Darkness - sees gryphons and werewolves ...
