At Electronic Arts’ recent spring showcase event, I spoke with Shadows of the Damned Product Manager Brendan Docherty while he demoed a level of the game. During out conversation, I learned a number of neat factoids about this collaborative effort between Suda51 and Mikami; in Shadows of the Damned, hell looks a lot like eastern Europe, alcohol restores your health, and a blood-soaked demon named George has a harmonica jammed in his throat. Seriously, though, this twisted shooter looks totally unique — I can’t wait to see more of it. Check out my interview with Docherty below (or click here for the HD version).
