Shazam: Shaq returns in Shaq Fu A Legend Reborn
As was foretold, Shaq is returning to the gaming world with a rebirth of one of the more infamous games in history, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn. The flexible funding project is now live on Indiegogo, and is seeking $450,000 to make the beat-em-up game a reality. The funding page acknowledges the original game's less than stellar history and notes that Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will be "what the original game should have been." A Legend Reborn still stars the former basketball player, but instead opts for a beat-em-up style game that features "hundreds of moves and battle techniques" with "dozens of cool melee weapons." The game will include a cooperative multiplayer mode in addition to player-versus-player options. The developers behind the PC game at Big Deez Productions are former triple-A developers that worked on series like Halo, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Alan Wake, Battlefield, Killzone and more. The Indiegogo campaign is set to end on April 20. The game will come to additional platforms if it reaches varying stretch goal levels: $650,000 for iOS and Android, $775,000 for Xbox 360 and PS3, $960,000 for Vita and 3DS, $1.08 million for Wii U and $1.62 million for Xbox One and PS4.

Shaq makes his video game return today in ShaqDown for iOS, Android
The only thing Shaquille O'Neal hates more than Kobe Bryant is not being in video games. Good then that Shaq's dry streak comes to an end today with the launch of ShaqDown on iOS and Android devices, a new free-runner smash-em-up for $.99.Shaq takes on hordes of zombies across three stages, each culminating in a boss battle. Developer Hiptic Games has programmed in some of the all-star center's most iconic moves, like the "flaming basketball toss" and "successful free-throw shot," the latter being perhaps Shaq's most memorable basketball trait.ShaqDown is available for download now on the Google Play store for Android devices running 2.2 and up, and on the iOS App store for iDevices running 4.3 or higher.
