    I remember seeing a lot of comments to the latest Shattered horizon video saying they wanted to try a demo for the game, this is your chance.  
    Updated for the new free weekend:

    HELSINKI, FINLAND – June 2, 2010 – Futuremark® Games Studio today announced that Shattered Horizon™, their PC exclusive multiplayer first-person shooter, will be free to play and 50 percent off to buy on Steam this weekend. Shattered Horizon’s innovative zero gravity gameplay has recently been enhanced with the Firepower weapons pack which added eight new weapons and three new grenades encouraging different styles of play and providing the opportunity for new team tactics.

    In Shattered Horizon, a catastrophic explosion on the Moon has filled near-Earth space with billions of tons of rocky debris. Teams of players fight in zero gravity to control the limited supplies that mean the difference between survival and death in the cold of space.

    Dedicated Servers:
    Players and game hosting companies who would like to put up their own servers during the free weekend can get the dedicated server files now from the Shattered Horizon website or from the Tools tab within Steam.

    The latest patch made the game playable for me finally. It is a very different and fun game when you finally wrap your head around the zero gravity gameplay. 
    If you have a computer with Vista or Windows 7 and a DX10 graphics card you should definitely try it out.

    This is so fun, all the servers are full now. And nobody knows about the stealth mode that makes you a lot harder to spot. I'm fly behind fools and meleeing them. 
    I stopped playing and had some problems with the world has stopped spinning around. The no up or down gameplay is just as wierd as playing Portal for the first time.

    Sucks, I wanted to finally try this out, but it isn't loading on my computer. Some weird "side-by-side" error that the Risen demo gave me. Sucks for me.
