Gaming News - February 2006

Montreal, Canada (February 2, 2006) - Meridian4 and developer Frozenbyte today announced the release of a demo for Shadowgrounds.

“This demo gives players a taste of what Shadowgrounds is all about. The demo lets players feel the high-octane action and to test out some of the weapons and upgrades found within the game.” said Steve Milburn, Marketing Director at Meridian4, “We know that once gamers get a taste of Shadowgrounds, they’ll be back for more.”

From Meridian4:

The demo features the first two levels of the game. It includes several different weapons and upgrades including the iZ8 Minigun, the crowd pleasing (and dispersing) WM6 Grenade Launcher and of course, the fan favourite; the WP650 "B.R.N." Flamer. (For those of you who like your meat well done!)

Level 1 – ‘Power Plant’ has you looking into what seems to be a routine power outage. You and two members of your team investigate the power plant. While you fix the problem, your friends mysteriously disappear, they can’t be hailed over the radio and then all hell breaks loose!

Level 2 – ‘Water Treatment Facility’ has Corporal Jane Arwyn trapped and in danger. You must get yourself safely into the facility, rescue Jane and get out alive. Did we mention the hordes of aliens and a level boss the size of a semi?

Take on the role of Tyler, an ex-security expert, now working as a mechanic in the outskirts of the space colony on Jupiter’s moon; Ganymede. What you thought was going to be just another cold, dark and boring day turns into a battle for your and the colony’s survival.
