Here's some fresh gameplay footage from that new cyberpunk, squad-based Syndicate tribute, Satellite Reign, which got funded via Kickstarter last Summer. I'm happy to report that this time there's significantly less purple. And it looks quite shiny for a pre-alpha, too! Not to mention fun. Vid's above, have a look. » 3/14/14 5:00am 3/14/14 5:00am

Nostalgia is a weird beast — one that bubbles up and gets excited for the most random things. If this trailer is any indication, Matador is giving my inner PC gaming child a run for its money. » 2/04/14 3:00pm 2/04/14 3:00pm

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. » 9/27/13 7:40am 9/27/13 7:40am

Don't get me wrong. I quite enjoyed the Syndicate shooter from last year. But it wasn't really Syndicate, was it? » 5/21/13 12:00am 5/21/13 12:00am

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 » 4/15/13 7:00pm 4/15/13 7:00pm

Early this year, Starbreeze Studios and EA launched Syndicate, an FPS reboot of a 1990s tactical classic. The game met with decidedly mixed reviews, and although some players enjoyed it, in terms of sales it's mostly gone down as a flop. » 6/20/12 8:30pm 6/20/12 8:30pm

Those unscrupulous sorts pirating the recent PC release of Starbreeze's Syndicate have found a little surprise buried inside the release. And it's not some kind of punishment or DRM. » 2/29/12 1:00am 2/29/12 1:00am

I know a lot of people have nostalgia for the 1993 Bullfrog classic Syndicate » 2/27/12 4:40pm 2/27/12 4:40pm

Syndicate is the latest casualty of Australia's antique classification laws, and also hopefully one of the last. Because of this, I will not legally be allowed to purchase the game, despite the fact I am 31 years old. » 2/16/12 1:00am 2/16/12 1:00am

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. » 2/10/12 12:30pm 2/10/12 12:30pm

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. » 2/01/12 11:30pm 2/01/12 11:30pm

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,… » 2/01/12 3:30pm 2/01/12 3:30pm

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), and the multiplayer demo for the new Twisted Metal. » 1/31/12 6:30pm 1/31/12 6:30pm

After watching the last Syndicate trailer, I had to grudgingly admit that it did indeed channel some of the vibe of the original game. In this new video, Syndicate executive producer Ben O'Donnell walks us through the just-released 4-player co-op demo, detailing some of the features of the upcoming game's co-op modes. » 1/31/12 5:30pm 1/31/12 5:30pm
