Star Wars Actor Sam Witwer Says A Darth Maul Game Could Be Something Special

Star Wars Actor Sam Witwer Says A Darth Maul Game Could Be Something Special https://ift.tt/LNgtHQJ With a new spin-off animated series coming out this month, Maul is back in the Star Wars spotlight. Since his first appearance in 1999's Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, the former Dark Lord of the Sith has become one of the series' most popular characters and has appeared in several video games over the years. Even though Maul has never starred in his own game, his current voice actor believes there is a chance to tell an "incredible" story if given the chance. In an interview with Discussing Film , actor Sam Witwer shared that he would love to see a Maul video game happen someday. "I've become convinced we could do an incredible story, yeah," Witwer said.

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew Review - Spectacul-arrrr https://ift.tt/0xneYP7

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is an ideal summer movie. The franchise went on to become single-mindedly obsessed with its breakout star, Captain Jack Sparrow, but the first movie was an agile, lightly spooky swashbuckling adventure. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew shares that movie's spirit of goofy haunted slapstick with a heart and real dramatic stakes, and blends it with an expertly crafted stealth-strategy campaign. It all comes together into one of my favorite games of the year.

Shadow Gambit centers around the Red Marley, a living, talking ghost ship with an undead crew who have fallen to the Inquisition of the Burning Maiden. You play primarily as Afia, as she revives the cursed compatriots one by one and gathers information on the hidden treasure of the Red Marley's captain, Captain Mordechai, who is conspicuously absent. The search for Mordechai's treasure is an intriguing hook that propels the plot forward and balances well against the often eccentric subplots of the individual characters.

The crew is distinctly drawn with one-of-a-kind visual attributes and backgrounds that makes discovering each team member a joy. Afia is permanently seen with a spectral sword sticking out of her chest, which she draws to eliminate enemies. Suleidy looks as if she's been partially consumed by plant-life. Pinkus is a fancy lad in a powdered wig, while Quintin the treasurer carries around his own golden skull. For a game about the undead, the personalities are just crackling with life and personality.
