The origin of Legendary: The Box is of such an old-school thought-process in terms of its premise (dude opens Pandora's Box, all the plagues in the world are unleashed upon Manhattan, etc.) that it will either end up being another FPS we quickly forget or an entertaining game worth your time. Read on.
The setup could bake into something fresh: Charles Deckard (we like the nod to Blade Runner) is a hired thief who's either too stupid or too curious to keep from opening, yep, that little box 'o' hell courtesy of Pandora. Of course the game is set in New York City, but it worries us-this city can make or break a game. And we can't scratch the itch that tells us it may be too big and scary for the development team at Spark Unlimited to conquer.

Looking for great games for the holidays?

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.
I've already seen an Onechanbara movie. Made in Japan and campy as hell but I enjoyed it thou :)
