GamingLives gets hands-on with the latest from ACONY and has this to say: "I came away from Bullet Run feeling highly impressed. The fact that it’s free to play and looks and plays as it does deserves recognition alone. However, its various mechanics, from the heat collection, to the customisation, to your overall rating on the leaderboards make it an even more ambitious title. Providing the beta goes well and there is a stable community all vying for the top spot as the most famed player, there is no reason why Bullet Run can’t be a very popular game indeed."
From GamesReviews
"Bullet Run might not have been the biggest free-to-play shooter on the market, but it's not good news that it's closing. Its TV show style was utterly unique, and it was one of the better examples of the genre in the F2P market. If you never played it, you're now probably too late. It closes, for good, tomorrow at 12PM PST. Sony have just sent out a new message reminding everybody to get their last games in over the next fourteen or so hours, and that players may want to try out Planetside 2 as an alternative."
This is a little dated now, of course. You've got about eight hours if you want to try it out/go back to it.

In this episode TERA Rising finally goes free-to-play, SOE shuts down the online FPS Bullet Run and Outspark closes its doors and moves Fiesta Online to Gamigo. The First Look is dedicated to TERA Rising, the stunning action MMORPG. In Face Off, Vindictus and Continent of the Ninth Seal battle for supremacy. The Most Wanted game of the week is Grimlands, a post-apocalyptic MMORPG that seems set to please Fallen Earth and Fallout fans.
