Paradox planning on Magicka for XBL, says new Syndicate is more like “GTA”
Paradox Interactive seems like a wacky place to work. Not Marx Brothers wacky by any means, but only wacky due to the firm’s apparent sense of humor. Proof of this odd sort of thinking can be found in the firm’s list of upcoming titles, and some it’s passed on. Yes, this is the same firm which released Stalin vs Martians, but, there are some things out there that are just too dotty even by Paradox’s standards.
