   Ahead of the Shadow Warrior reinvention, publisher Devolver Digital is giving away the original 1997 shooter for free on Steam. The controversial 3D Realms game, which used the same engine as Duke Nukem 3D, was originally going for free for a "limited time." However, according to the official Shadow Warrior Twitter account it's staying free-to-play "forever."

   Devolver Digital and Flying Wild Hog's Shadow Warrior comeback is due on PC this fall, and on next-gen consoles (as yet unspecified) next year. We recently caught up with lead writer Jan Bartkowicz to see how the modern Shadow Warrior will compare to the original.

   Note: When pressing Play Game to download, it would go into a loop to Community Hub. After cryptic discussion in Community Hub, I rebooted steam and tried again. Voila! Not that familiar with Shadow Warrior, I think it is a single player game as opposed to normal free to play. What garnered my attention was free forever.

   I finally got around to playing this today. Installed it a while ago, but have been really busy with other games. If you liked any of the first person shooters of yesteryear, you'll like this. You start off with a Katana, which literally chops your enemies to bits. I can see why there was controversy when it was first released. It's tame by todays standards, but back then I bet it was considered quite gory.

   I've just purchased one called Magrunner: Dark Pulse (via Steam), that has elements of portal, but instead of creating portals you use a mag gun to change the polarities of object to either attract or repel each other. Using these properties you have to move yourself around various levels. Seems like an interesting puzzle game that you play in the first person perspective. Not sure yet whether it was worth full price, but for puzzle lovers, this will be a must have.

   It's still in beta, and the full release is just over a week away. In the mean time you can play the beta. check it out HERE
