Hybrid isn't a new concept at first glance. You have a cover system, firefights, jetpacks, specializations, and abilities, which are common in most shooters. Where Hybrid shines is how it specializes and relies on cover-specific combat. Being able to fly from cover to cover, vault over cover, or post-up behind cover is the real element of Hybrid. At first, you may find the controls to be unfamiliar, and trying to evade enemies while strafing and directing yourself to cover can be unresponsive. Even when you are in cover you may find that, until you are used to maneuvering properly, the controls can be a little clunky and dying becomes natural. Have no fear though, once you grasp even a little bit of an understanding of the game's movement, you will be propelling yourself through the maps blasting every drone and enemy in your way.

Really? They've been doing this every month for years, in fact it's not even every month, they have new deals every week.

Difference is people on Xbox don't feel the need to shout and preach about it, unlike Sony fanboys.
Where have you been, probably never use a xbox 360 or live before as there are weekly and monthly discounts for years now.
This year was a year dominated by the rise of the Arcade. Half of the games in my top 10 were 15 dollars or less and that’s a huge testament to how big the Xbox Live Arcade has gotten in the past year. Apart from the ones on my list, other games like Fez, Journey (PS3 download but you get the message), and Trials Evolution are getting major consideration for awards on multiple other websites. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a fair share of retail releases that impressed on multiple levels. Tell that to Sleeping Dogs, Mass Effect 3, Far Cry 3, Assassins Creed 3, and Dishonored and they will prove you wrong. It wasn’t the best year, that’s for sure, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t impress in many ways.
Ben Rowland wrote: Hybrid’s lineage is perhaps one of its most interesting aspects. This unlikely project has 5th Cell, the developer of Nintendo DS-exclusive games such as Scribblenauts and Drawn to Life, making the leap into the realm of online shooters. Hybrid is a third person multiplayer-focused shooter that attempts to bring some new ideas to a genre that’s well beyond the point of saturation. While Hybrid makes a valiant attempt and succeeds in a few areas, it unfortunately isn’t the genre-bender that we had hoped for.
