The first developer diary for Shadows of the Damned is now online. Presented by director Suda51 and Creative Producer Shinji Mikami, the diary features scenes from the game and a little background information on what the game is all about:

Heavily influenced by the Grindhouse style including projects from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez, Shadows of the Damned presents a unique vision of hell, taking gamers on a twisted journey through a demented underworld where death and destruction are around every corner.

Shadows of the Damned will be released for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Release date for New Zealand is the 23rd of June.
