Sure, it looks A LOT like Gears of War, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Shadowgun may just be one of the most gorgeous games I’ve seen on the iOS platform yet. Don’t get me wrong, I love the hell out of Infinity Blade, but this is something different entirely.
I’m not sure how the third person shooter controls will translate on the handheld devices, but if commenting on just graphics, it looks amazing. I don’t think I’ll ever give up on handheld gaming altogether, but it’s nice to know that I have an alternative with my iDevices.
The game is being released in the Apple App Store tomorrow for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod. An Android based conversion of the game is slated, but we haven’t received word on exactly when. Keep an eye open for more info in the future.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
