The Saboteur

Unlikely most of you remember studio immediately Pandemic, especially when you have joined interactive entertainment recently. But just ten years ago, this undeniably talented team literally won millions of fans of "Star Wars" and just hungry for spectacle citizens.

So, enemy locations and areas displayed in color newsreel images (something between black / white and sepia), and only the fascist uniforms yes banners glowed scarlet blood symbolism. Sight, it should be noted, is awesome, and at least for the sake of it (and burning zeppelins itself) worth prosherstit eBay for the presence of second-hand copies of The Saboteur.

The mass audience and journalists, unfortunately, do not try to design depths Pandemic, then suddenly died studio. But the memory of it will remain in our hearts.
