    20 November 2008

    While the Xbox 360 version of Dragon Age: Origins is a great game, it's not perfect. The graphics are good, if a little washed out, and the frame rate is smooth, but you'll get far more graphical bang for your buck on a PC. Read more

    • Compelling story, great replayability, action-packed combat
    • Dated graphics

    Set in an alternate universe where the American Civil War has lasted for decades and steam-power has ousted electricity, Damnation tries admirably to be a good steampunk shooter but is hindered by below-par graphics and a Read more

    • Riding the jet bike along canyons, Decent enemy A.I, Some nicely constructed levels, Good choice of offline & online modes, Unlock cheat codes
    • Dated graphics, Tiny writing for button directions! Again!, Freezes at weird moments when loading, The CPU sidekick only catches up with you when he feels like it

    In the end, Damnation really is a sad story. The game had an interesting concept and a good amount of potential but it just never came together. Read more

    Thomas Jefferson once said that “every generation needs a new revolution.” The fine PR folks over at Codemasters would like you to believe that Damnation is that revolution. Read more

    Damnation should have come out a few years ago; it might have made a better impact and is truly one of those titles that are average in many areas. It’s a shame really since there’s a lot of potential there. Read more

    You have to give Blue Omega credit for trying something different with Damnation's steampunk story and its leaping-around action, but that's about it. Everything else here is painful to experience. Read more

    • Out-of-the-ordinary steampunk story and setting, Some of the leaping-around acrobatics can be mildly amusing.
    • Mindless combat, Shooting-gallery enemy AI, Annoying frame rate hitches and visual bugs, Abysmal voice acting, Grating weapon sound effects.

    They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; if that's the case, Blue Omega took their adulation of Epic Games to an all-new level with Damnation on Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. Read more

    Videogames don't have much respect for real time though, so you'll be swinging and catapulting yourself around, scaling buildings with wall jumps, and generally using superhuman acrobatic skills to dispatch enemies with Read more

Features

Damnation is a shooter game that features single player mode as well as split-screen, drop-in-drop-out co-operative gameplay through all of its large-scale levels. Each level provides up to three hours of streaming gameplay and thousands of vertical feet to explore. These open environments provide the backdrop for the storyline, combat, acrobatics and vehicle based stunts that are featured on Damnation’s gameplay. The game also features large streaming environments, with 3D rendering that cover miles of horizontal distance and thousands of vertical feet. Players can choose from multiple paths and tactics in the landscapes that unfold in all three dimensions. The game features Player Choice and Freedom, where players will need up to three hours in real-time travel to get from one end to the other, as well as three hours to climb to the top. Players are able to choose their own routes. Other features on the game include “Spirit Vision”. “Spirit Vision!” allows users to see through walls and anticipate the enemy’s movements; Daredevil Stunts where players perform moves at the limits of human ability to jump between ledges, swing on ropes and chains, and traverse vertical surfaces. This feature also allows players to zip, slide, vault, shinny, swing and jump through the environment with intelligent AI attacking from all sides, above and below, as well as Multiplayer mode that allows players to play through the entire singleplayer campaign in co-op mode or online with multiplayer.
