Cyber-punk shooter

Reboots always seem to scare fans of the original. They leave you thinking, “Will one of my favorite games be turned into a pile of trash? Or will the developer actually get it right for once?”

The original “Syndicate” from 1993, much beloved by hard-core gamers, has been hauled into the modern era as a first-person shooter. All of the cyber-punk goodness is still there; and the near-future, corporate espionage plot feels like it was pulled from a Hollywood script. The Hollywood reference stands true on another front: Brian Cox and Rosario Dawson lend their vocal talents, giving their characters some much-needed heft.
