This looks pretty cool.  The lack of an iron sight is sort of shitty, though.

I've been waiting for this Quicklook.
...unfortunately I'm in a phone meeting right now so it'll have to wait :(
 
I've heard a lot about the "no iron sites" but as I play more L4D than anything I don't think it'll bother me.

You can get red dot sites and stuff though, so iron sites won't be your primary anyway.

I downloaded the demo to this, but I could never get into a game. After a while I just gave up.

Eh, TF2 is 20 dollars. Any 15 dollar downloadable multiplayer game has to measure up to that far as I'm concerned.

It looks kinda like a mod. Like those dime-a-dozen sci-fi deathmatch HL2 mods.

Something about the speed of the controls feels rather odd, a little to fast and at times a little to slow. 
 
Feels pretty generic, even with super cool digital grenades.  
 
Graphically, don't think it looks much worse then what Modern Warfare 2 looked.

Generally, I've been able to see the brighter side of in-game advertising so long as it works within the context of the game. But those Dr. Pepper ads are downright ridiculous.

I thought the Tribes series was a pretty good futuristic shooter. UT isn't bad. 
 
I might actually look into this game for PC. I need a new competitive FPS. Never cared for MW, and with the recent update to CSS killing the game for me, I may actually get this. I also like the look and the sound of the guns. And the trinkets are a nice touch.

Played the demo a couple hours and the shooting feels good. The controls are nice and I like the distorted, future robot clone vibe to it. It seems like pretty good value considering how deep the gun customisation is.
 
Also, you guys have to fix the technical issues in quicklooks. It was pretty obvious that your screen cut out a few times and you get a few seconds of noise in the backround of Vinny or Drew scrambling to plug stuff in. These aren't live, so why not just shoot it again or edit the mess out.

I like Left4Dead's solution to the red cross situation. It's a white cross inside of a red circle.

Can't believe Jeff didn't notice or mention K4rn4ge was playing during that second game. That's the guy who's always one of the few people on Jeff's friend list with actual high scores for Game Room games, as evidenced by the Game Room Quick Looks.

Keychains changing your weapon's stats? Is this Kingdom Hearts: The FPS? That's an odd choice....

I don't know, I'm kind of feeling this game.
 
I like it's aesthetic, and the weapon customization looked a lot deeper than Modern Warfare 2's, although it looks like they're not using perks and are relying solely on customizing your weapons and such for your loadouts.
 
If this is fifteen bucks on PC, I think I'll get it!
 
EDIT: Hold the phone, it says on their website it's for Games for Windows Live. FUCK THAT NOISE.

Lol I do like the line "Looks good for the price." And  honestly I think the game is great. I mean right now it doesn't compare to big name titles, but it can still be a decent game even good diversion if you get tired of being Marathon/ Akimbo Shotgun all day. Also for the sights. From personal experience about level 15 is when you get a majority of the smg,sniper, and assault rifle sights so it's not like you have to wait that long from the beginning.
 
Ps I found out that the symbols do have meaning
 
From top to bottom it is Accuracy, Movement Speed, and Weapon Recoil.

For professional video game reviewers, they're not very good at playing them. I found the health station in the first and only match. I expect more.

Doesn't look bad, but the game is just bland. I kinda got interested when the video started, but it just went down from there. meh.
