It's raining expansion packs. GOG, still celebrating its fifth birthday, has made the expansion packs for five classic Bullfrog games available for free. So, owners of Syndicate, Dungeon Keeper, Magic Carpet, Populous, or Populous: The Beginning, know that another small part of your childhood has now been restored.
Henrik Sahlström works as a concept artist at Battlefield developers DICE. But hey, that's not all he does. Guy also did stuff for the gorgeous
If you liked the first Syndicate, you may have been less than satisfied with the first-person shooter version that came out last year. Perhaps you'd like a version that's a bit truer to the original, like Firaxis' take on XCOM? In that case, you might enjoy Black Annex, a new indie game that's more or less a moddable …
And here you thought Fine Art was just about the guys making the stuff that goes in the game. Today, we're looking at the work of design firm 1910, who design stuff that goes before, or on top of, a game.
Early this year, Starbreeze Studios and EA launched Syndicate, an FPS reboot of a 1990s tactical classic. The game met with decidedly mixed reviews
Say what you will about the game's departure from both the look and feel of the original, there were sections of the latest Syndicate that looked just great. Mostly anything involving an office from the future.
Those unscrupulous sorts pirating the recent PC release of Starbreeze's Syndicate
It's not like the original Syndicate. We've accepted that. Moved beyond it. This is not Bullfrog's beloved tactical shooting game from 1993. This is something altogether different, and not every game reviewer likes it.
The year is 2069. The government as we know it is obsolete. In its place are various syndicates, all racing to develop the most advanced bio-digital implants that allow their host to connect to the dataverse, and even control it. Syndicate is a telling of that story, originally written by Bullfrog Productions in 1993,…
Syndicate is the latest casualty
On the left we have Rosario Dawson, in my opinion one of the most attractive actors working today. On the right, a soulless husk with eyes that have seen such horrors... such horrors. A creepy vessel used to transport Dawson's voice into EA's Syndicate. She looks worse than Cox.
Not all Electronic Arts-published games will be given the Project $10/ Online Pass treatment. Rather than slap Syndicate with a one-use code that unlocks the game's multiplayer features, EA will keep such access free, to grow interest in the shooter's co-op mode it says.
In the bleak corporate future of Syndicate, an intracranial DART 6 chip brings you before the "gateway into ultimate consciousness." This infomercial oozes Snow Crash-esque fiction, and know that in-game, you can toggle this augmented reality on and off. It coats your environment in a weird topographical aesthetic,…
Some weeks, the PlayStation Store has a whole bunch of cool new digital content. Other weeks, not so much. This week falls a bit into the latter category, though there are two exciting demos out—the Syndicate co-op demo (which looks pretty cool
After watching the last Syndicate trailer, I had to grudgingly admit that it did indeed channel some of the vibe of the original game
I'll go ahead and call this a glimmer of hope. When we first got a glimpse
The single best piece of video game news today is that the original Syndicate is this Thursday going on sale
If you've never played Bullfrog's acclaimed cyberpunk masterpiece—you know, the one that EA's re-animating as a FPS
The latest glimpse at EA's corporate warfare shooter introduces the characters you'll be playing as, and teases a few more multiplayer details, too. It says that nine missions from the original Syndicate will be available to play in the upcoming reboot, so that might comfort those who pine away for the 1993 version. …
The latest game to fall foul of Australia's lack of an adults-only game rating is the upcoming Syndicate reboot, the shooter having been "refused classification" in the country, which effectively bans the game from sale.
The controversially re-booted Syndicate
The Syndicate of 1993 was a strange beast, part strategy, part action. The Syndicate of 2012 is all action, leaving those who preferred the strategy of the original wanting.
Today's Total Recall won't be about video game history. It's about dealing with what happens when video game history is dredged back to the present and coated in bright pink lipstick.
