A game from Shinji Mikami and Suda51? Throw in music from Akira Yamaoka, and you have an all-star cast. This is the announcement trailer for Shadows of the Damned, a Grasshopper Manufacture game being published by EA in 2011.
The main character, Garcia, travels to the underworld after his true love is abducted by demons. At EA's Tokyo Game Show press conference, where Suda and Mikami were on-hand to unveil the game, Mikami noted that the title has a, "punk rock edge."
Suda described it as "very dark" and has referred to it as the greatest game he'd ever worked on. Bold words, Suda, but that would sound more impressive coming from Mikami. Nonetheless, I'm as curious about this as everything else the lunatic has made. Hopefully Dale and Holmes will be able to get us more information on Shadows of the Damned from the show floor.

Anyway, here's the link
Also, the game looks great!
Many football fans want to wear a jersey of their favorite team or player, but it can be difficult to shop for right size one. Typically, our jerseys website fits different than a normal website, so your regular shirt size might not necessarily be the same size as an NFL jersey. Using a measuring tape, it is easy to figure out what size NFL jerseys will fit you best. http://www.nfljersey-online.com
maybe it'll end up being weirder than it looks ? we'll have to wait and see.
In any case this is probably going to turn out to be one of the most important games of 2011 that'll land up being overlooked by GAMESJERNALISM, and go on to sell a whole ten copies at launch.
By that time I'm sure we'll have another CoD to spend our money on anyway.
Obvious troll is abvious. Also, It's MIKAMI not MAKAMI.
AND ISN'T STOPPING UNTIL THE GAME COMES OUT!
@Neroisonfire; yeah at the end it says Xbox 360 and PS3.
I am so excited for this, these guys are literally my video game dream team, I've always wondered what it'd be like if those 3 collaborated, and now look at this!! This is fantastic, it's like an early christmas present!!! I cannot wait!!!
So, you hate change, grammar and spelling?
Also, there are definite shadows (no pun intended) of Kurayami in the art direction.
