Jan 31, 2011Shadow Guardian is a great thrill ride. I had a lot of fun reclaiming Jason's memories, tempting gravity while exploring huge tombs, and flirting with the occult when Shadow Guardian turned itself over to the fantastic. If you have a Retina device, Shadow Guardian is a stunner.

Jan 31, 2011Shadow Guardian is a nice third-person action adventure which does almost everything right: however, the sheer lack of personality makes it much less enjoyable than it could've been.

Jan 31, 2011Sure, there's an occasional boss fight thrown in for good measure, but that's about as interesting as things get. The bosses were probably the most enjoyable part of the game, but overall the experiences with them were brief.
