How The West Was Lost
I have to admit that like a lot of other people, I was looking forward to Damnation. I love games set in the old West, and the addition of an alternate timeline and a steampunk theme made this one even better, at least on paper.

Damnation review
Let's make this clear right away: Damnation is a game that lives up to its name. A game that promises a lot with its Steam-punk theme and its grand scale, but fails to live up to expectations. A game that is ultimately damned. To understand why, we need to look at where things went wrong.

"Damnation (PS3) Torment and annoyance. Not for me!"
You play a charcter called Hamilton Rourke in third person. He's a member of a rebel gang in 19th century America, during which time steam-powered robots and technological weapons were introduced.
Pros:
- Great moves
- Easy to follow story line
Cons:
- Boring
- Annoying
- Poor gameplay, graphics and sound effects

Damnation
Damnation is a shooting / climbing game given a steampunk twist that is set around the time of an American civil war, where oddly, both sides lost and a military industrial company, PSI, have risen to power instead (they're the baddies).

Damnation
It was bound to happen, but I never imagined my first two big letdowns of 2009 would hit nearly back to back-nor that Sacred 2 or Damnation would be among them, two games I had very high hopes for.

This third-person shooter is a trip into hell.
Damnation's biggest accomplishment is making steampunk look bad. Even the usually cool mashing up of fantasy and sci-fi can't save developer Blue Omega Entertainment's mess of a third-person shooter.
Pros:
- Out-of-the-ordinary steampunk story and setting
- Some of the leaping-around acrobatics can be mildly amusing
Cons:
- Mindless combat
- Shooting-gallery enemy AI
- Annoying frame rate hitches and visual bugs
- Abysmal voice acting
- Grating weapon sound effects

PS3 Review: Damnation
If you haven't worked it out by now, Damnation is a terrible game. It lacks anything memorable, it isn't fun to play and it feels unfinished. Let's hope this bad trend doesn't continue any further…

Damnation Review
It seems the thought process behind Damnation was something along the lines of: Gears is a good game, let's do a Gear knock off, but our USP will be a Tomb Raider platform mechanic.
