I saw the first trailer for Shadows of the Damned a while ago and had almost forgot about it, including the name. And then i saw the Konami "press conference" and the game Neverdead for the first time and i assumed it was that game.

But today i saw Shadows of the damned in stores and got confused, and now it's cleared up.

They do sound pretty similar, both are 3rd person shooters with a crazy Japanese story, demon enemies and such. In one you get ripped apart all the time, and in the other your girlfriend does.

Note that this is just based on me watching some trailers.

Also, the story in Shadows of the Damned kind of reminds me of Catherine mixed in with some Painkiller.

Holy shit you just reminded me about painkiller and what a awesome game that was. I wish that Duke Nukem Forever would have taken some ideas from that game.

@Lucifer: yeah, they could have started with letting you keep more than two weapons

@Lucifer: I purchased painkiller on a GoG.com sale for 4€ and i love it! Wished i had played it sooner.

The difference between the two is that Shadows of the Damned looks awesome, while Neverdead seems to be being made by the Konami B-team.
