About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

The acclaimed atmosphere and gameplay mechanics of the original Shadowgrounds make a triumphant return, armed with a totally new feature set, including an RPG-style character-development system, three playable characters and the frantic Survival mode that focuses on all-out alien-slaughtering action. Use the Sentry Turret and the devastating Mech to fight your way through hordes of aliens across a wide range of environments. All-new graphical effects and AGEIA PhysX bring the destruction and carnage in full force.

  • New graphics enhancements, including raging snowstorm effects, new weapon effects and much more!
  • Integrated physics that bring the world alive with hundreds of physics objects, taking the destruction to the next level
  • New original soundtrack composed by praised Shadowgrounds composer Ari Pulkkinen
  • On-disc Editor tools, sample missions and modding Wiki for easy modding; take part in the Shadowgrounds mod community and create mods for the Campaign or the Survival mode – or just enjoy the results of others!
