From the PlanetXbox360 feature:
"February is typically the driest month of the video game calendar, but February 2012 is shaping up to be a month jam-packed with releases. Surprisingly, there is going to be a little something for everybody. Sports fans can get their jollies with titles such as UFC Undisputed 3 and SSX. Friends of the reliable FPS genre can expect good things from the gore-tastic Darkness II, the technophobic Sega shooter Binary Domain, and the corporate conspiracy shooter Syndicate. Action gamers can look forward to the Alan Wake spin-off, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, in addition to Capcom's newest IP, Asura's Wrath. Role-playing gamers aren't being forgotten about either, with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning being released this week."
Electronic Arts has announced a number of server closures in the coming months, including Apex Mobile and the 2012 Syndicate reboot.
Syndicate's big saving grace will soon be erased for good. I'll give *some* credit to EA in keeping servers up for 10+ years.
Oh yeah, an actual cyberpunk game. I have fond memories of the old bullfrog Syndicates.
Syndicate was a fun and high quality late PS3 fps that got swallowed in the sea of fps at the time. It was short and it didn't innovate but it had good visuals and fun combat. Starbreeze i believe. Rip Torn and Rosario Dawson.
10 years since the Syndicate series was rebooted as an FPS, perhaps it's time we got another reboot as a strategy game?
was this the game with the cars on rails and you could blow up killing everyone in it? l loved this game, lol
I couldn't get past the first half hour or something. Hard to remember but I didn't play long. I don't know if there was something wrong with the PC version or not, but the bloom was so bad it hurt my eyes. I started getting a horrible headache. I could hardly see anything because there was extremely intense bloom everywhere.
EA always let their PC versions fall by the wayside. The same thing happened with Dead Space 1.
This remains one of my fave hard sci-fi FPS games from the X360 era. A compelling premise with an interesting setting and solid characters, plus outstanding special ability mechanics. Def deserves more love.
KeenGamer: "UFC Undisputed 3 is still the best MMA game ever made. Why is it that a game with an outdated roster and PS3 graphics still holds a special place in the hearts of so many players? Let's take a look at the major differences between THQ and EA's approach to MMA gaming."
Good month for gaming!
Alan Wake...
