Syndicate Update: More Trailers Means More Reasons To Get The Game...



OK, I missed out on posting these and a few others earlier, but here you go, plus a music track remix below the jump. EA and Starbreeze have quite a sleeper hit in Syndicate that I hope is allowed room to draw in a following as opposed to being driven to the bargain bin because of ill-informed message board denizens that refuse to play the game or worse, compare it to other games that it isn't. Sure, there's nothing wrong with having an opinion at all. However, making your brain a fact-free zone just so you can become Lord of the Board over on some forums and spout out stuff that just isn't true just makes you miss out on a WHOLE lot of cool stuff. Sometimes, it's best to step down from the throne, shut up and get a controller in your hands so you can LEARN something. Or, hell at least be surprised that you were completely wrong while having some fun with something you hated far too much before you tried it. Just a thought...

Syndicate Launch Trailer: Corporations Are People... That Hire Other People To Kill More People...


It's just around the corner and yes, it's going to make some folks really happy. From what I got to play last week, The single player is tight and four player co-op is old-school challenging (in a good way - TEAMWORK will win the day, folks). Add in a killer soundtrack and some fine voice acting (Brian Cox and Rosario Dawson for starters) and this one's a sleeper and a keeper in my book. EA is also doing the smart thing by letting players jump into multiplayer with no online passes or DLC scheme locking out content, so this makes the game an automatic BUY in my book. SYNDICATE hits stores on February 21 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC - make sure to give it a look if you're still on the fence and you'll be truly surprised at how it's turned out...

Syndicate Update: 4-Player Co-op Briefing Trailer



The demo for Starbreeze's SYNDICATE reboot is up and running over PSN and Xbox Live, so absolutely grab it, get a few friends together and PLAY this thing. Here's a great peek at what to expect if you happen to be curious but don't have an PSN or XBL account. Ea's got a winner on their hands that deserves a ton of respect. So until all the insane haters out there drop their fake outrage act and play the game, they really have nothing to offer to those of us who have played the game and know that it's going to rock,

Syndicate 4-Player Co-op Trailer: It's On (and On and On and On)...



As I've said previously, if you're not interested in EA's upcoming Syndicate remake because it's "just another FPS", you're a bit crazy. Starbreeze Studios has absolutely captured the feel of the originals in the game - the move to a shooter with a four-player co-op from a isometric game where you controlled four agents not only makes sense, it does an even better job of immersing you in the action. In case you missed the other multiplayer trailers, I'll be an even nicer guy here and run a few later this week just to twist your arms a little more.
