Here's an excerpt from my hands-on preview of Shadow Warrior that went live on Gaming Trend today, and also an embed of the full video version of the preview. Please take a look if you have a moment! Thanks!

"If you were playing first-person shooters on your PC back in 1997, you may remember Shadow Warrior from 3D Realms. While it deserves credit for introducing room-over-room maps, ladders, and vehicles to the FPS genre, most probably remember it for protagonist Lo Wang, utilizing his trademark katana and throwing stars. And of course, there's the developer's insistence on playing up Asian kung fu movie stereotypes.

When it came time to reboot the series, publisher Devolver Digital enlisted the help of developer Flying Wild Hog. With their release of Hard Reset in September of 2011, Flying Wild Hog had shown a propensity for mixing the old school with the new, and proved that the classic no-cover shooter still has a place in today's gaming universe. And now, they turn their sights to a reboot of the classic Shadow Warrior. I was fortunate enough to ride out a portion of the game in a preview build, and we may be in for a treat when this game is completed."
