Shadows of the Damned: A new way for Japan?
Oct 24th
Within ten minutes of beginning Shadows of the Damned, you’ve been subjected to a litany of dick jokes, seen a woman burst at the seams (literally), and have been introduced to a protagonist who’s chosen middle name is “Fucking.” Before bringing in the late title card, the main character and his gun/sidekick have a quick discussion about this trip into the underworld is going to be “our own road movie,” setting the scene for what follows.
It’s really easy to discredit Shadows of the Damned as potty humor, old gameplay mechanics, and JAPAN. I know, because for a while this summer, I did. However, after playing Grasshopper’s latest, I’m convinced that not only is this bound to be a cult classic of a video game, but could be a model for the Japanese developer community going forward.

Welcome back to the stage of history. After a weekend away, we’re back at it, and I’m delivering the news updates for the week.
First off, it appears Netflix may be expanding its console reach. Stories surfacing today suggested this may be occurring based off of Netflix posting job listings for “Engineering Leader – Gaming Platforms,” a position which the postings say would require “prototyping, testing and building the Netflix experience for gaming consoles.” Could PS3 and even Wii users know the joy of Netflix streaming soon? Perhaps.
