GameSpot writes: "Shattered Horizon is an intriguing online shooter that seems poised to grab attention not because of what it adds to the genre, but for what it takes away. Set in space after a mining disaster on the moon has sent rock fragments big and small across the galaxy, its gameplay is entirely zero-gravity. Without gravity to hold you down, players are free to use jet packs to cruise around each of the game's maps. Every surface you can see is fair game, and your ability to boost from one location to another in a hurry adds an entirely new dimension to the typical online shooter match. After first getting our hands on Shattered Horizon last year, we recently took a second spin through an updated build just before the game arrives on PC later this year".
Hardcore Gamer: Shattered Horizon is an FPS with a huge twist - you're flying through space. Also, going through corridors, but seriously, it's a zero-g FPS. Nuclear Dawn is a stealth-ish FPS, while Two Worlds II is more for RTS fans. Planets Under Attack has giant circles full of things doing things to other giant circles with things, but it's impossible to tell just what kind of game it is based on gameplay footage. It's got a neon-heavy color scheme, so if you've finished Blood Dragon and have a thing for that right now, maybe you'll dig it.
Well it’s a been a bundling good week but we’re starting off this fresh one with a fresh bundle, this time courtesy of the folks behind Steam. Very recent to hit the Steam registry is a “Space Bundle” and with it all the juicy details on the contents. Five games overall are included and each of them quite stellar in their own right; ranging from deep strategy to first person shooter and a couple of simulators thrown in for good measure too.
Headup Games today is announcing the release of the space action title Shattered Origins in their own online shop. The game will be available at a price of 8,99 Euro for two weeks.
