Epic Games and Chair Entertainment's Xbox LIVE Arcade title Shadow Complex will be here before you know it. The game is releasing August 19, which, hold on a second, isn't very far off! Time sure does fly when you are sharing naughty Google Image search results with your co-workers and having serious discussions about Destro.
Besides it being possible to beat the Metroidvania-style game in under 2 hours (if you're really good), and its $15 price tag, we now have one more interesting tidbit to share: the Achievements. They are located after the break, in case you are in a rush or something.
One of the Achievements is for 100% completion, while another asks that you only obtain 13% or less of the items, which sort of goes hand in hand with the 2 hour speedrun factoid. The rest are kind of standard Achievements, but I do really enjoy the "get 100 soldiers to scream" one.

Level-up to experience level 50

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.
