OXM UK writes: "Turning Point: Fall of Liberty might have disappointed, but Craig Allen is far from down and out. Spark Unlimited's Exectuive Producer has come out swinging with a first-person shooter that he's adamant will change perceptions of an already bloated genre.
The modern-day setting of New York might not amaze, but the game's enemies will. Forget humans. In Legendary, you are both hunter and hunted as mythical beasts are unleashed on the world, stalking the streets of NY and London.
They affect multiplayer as well.Rather than stick to the standard Deathmatch variants that are the staple of every FPS ever, Spark Unlimited instead has drawn upon its unique selling point of the game - the creatures themselves. Spark claims that it has introduced them as random factor in firefights between the warring factions of Legendary, suggesting you can lead opponents into a werewolf-laden trap, or push them out into the open to be snatched up by an aerial demon."

Looking for great games for the holidays?
In honor of Thanksgiving and real turkeys everywhere that have laid down their lives in the service of your belly, here is a small collection of PC gaming 'turkeys' we've reviewed over the last year to avoid this holiday season.
Blair Herter announces the winner of G-Phoria '09 Game Most Deserving of a Uwe Boll Movie. Nominees include 'Golden Axe: Beast Rider', 'Castlevania Judgment', 'Legendary', 'Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayer' and 'X-Blades'.
NOTHING deserves a Uwe Boll movie. That guy is simply atrocious at everything he does. I can't believe how he can make a move so stupid, I'm not kidding I got sick after watching House of the Dead. It's like he actually wants to fail. A monkey with a camera and 10 bucks can make a better movie than this guy.
"Until the law was changed in 2005, Boll was able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allowed investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allowed them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor was then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor got a tax writeoff."
And in his own words, "Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the Government."
He basically makes money even if its crap, which all of them have been.
I've already seen an Onechanbara movie. Made in Japan and campy as hell but I enjoyed it thou :)
Wow, this game sounds amazing. With enemy creatures in the multiplayer, and just the concept sounds awesome. I just hope it doesn't follow the way of Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.
