Legendary: The Box opens
Spark Unlimited's new FPS tears the lid off Pandora's Box. Oopsie.
Jul 10, 2007
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. ...

You'll start off as Charles Decker, an art thief who unwittingly winds up opening Pandora 's Box in the New York ...   » Read Full Legendary preview

First look at this mythologically minded shooter
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 ...   » Read Full Legendary preview
