This came out of nowhere, looks fun. It's multiplayer too with cooperative apparently. $10 too, ($9 if you order right now from STEAM).

Generic Shooter.

For $10, I wasn't expecting anything ground breaking. Looks fun.

Sweet, a PC version - played it on the 360 when it came out on arcade and it was fun. It's basically like a very arcadey star control, quite hectic.

Now if Shadow Complex gets a PC version...

Jimby · Nov 12, 2009, 09:31 AM

Is this multiplayer only?

It was released several months ago on XBox Live (more timely with the new movie). I heard it was terrible.

Yeah it looks pretty lame. It is, for all practical purposes, multiplayer only. The game only consists of 3 arena based MP modes that you can optionally play with bots. If you're thinking it's like Raiden or Gradius or whatever with a progression through single player levels, it's not. I would not pay $5 for this, let alone $10.

Its got some single player elements like survival mode etc. Its certainly not the best game in the world but it was cheap. It scales with Crossfire 100% without a profile.

The price caught my attention, but I have no idea on what to expect from it.

I hate being restricted in movement via a little gray box , your ship hits this invisible wall and you bounce back.

So you want an arena battle game but without an arena ... righttttt.

They should just release an updated version of the StarFleet command series. You know, with a new engine gfx etc. That would be awesome.

This. Problem is, the company that made those games is long since defunct.
