@Genjai: Or maybe you fight the godless invaders who invert their controls.  I'd buy that game.

Sweet... I was just saying the other day what we don't see nearly enough of is mediocre, gimmicky third person shooters.

Hey, huge invading horde of evil guys charging up the wall... you also have guns. Firing them might be preferable to throwing dozens of dudes into enemy bullets.


Just sayin'.

Did it seem to anyone else that the sound was being played through a tin can?

So bullets aren't affected by gravity? I love the smell of a fresh game idea.

Gravity gameplay concept?  Cool.

The rest of this thing?  Trash.  Generic, poorly written, poorly designed, trash.

The game looks like it might be ok... but this was one of the worst videos I've seen in a long... long time.

Trying to be cooler than it is. There's a point where we don't care as much.

Ok... I understand their need to make these games (not really...)

But at least make it not look EXACTLY like poor-mans Gears of War.

I am willing to give this a chance... but only, only because it's from the guys that made TimeShift.


Gotta admit that was one fucking awful teaser.
