    I was wondering when one of their 3DMark game simulations would turn into a real title. Looks mildly entertaining, though I don't see much there that would hold my interest for particularly long. Still, at $20 it's a budget title, so you're not talking about the same bracket as many other recent triple-A titles.

          It's like playing Decent Freespace... without a ship. Best way to describe it.

            This brings back precious memories of Dead Space, I'm starting to love all these space-esque-FPS games, especially if it's something or exactly like Dead Space. But this game looks like a real beauty.

              Weird I was just thinking that. Hope they came up with a good control scheme.

                Controls do take a little to get used to but once you get the hang of them, it's a breeze.

                  I remember playing the original Descent series with a control scheme that placed both hands on the keyboard... oi, now those are some memories from way back!

                  Does it have a compelling story and single-player campaign, or is it more similar to the likes of UT and BF where the campaign is more or less just multiplayer with bots?

                      Bummer. While I play both, I'm mostly a single-player type of person. I love the stories told in a well-crafted single-player experience. Multiplayer is nice for when you're feeling competitive, and none of us would be at this site if we didn't like Counter-Strike. However... I find as I get older it's usually the stories that make me want to play games, which is probably part of why I don't play CS anymore.

                      But, as with all things, to each their own. I'm sure this has found a niche market of players who love it.
