Firing Squad writes: "40 years in the future, an explosive mining catastrophe causes billions of tons of rock to separate from the Moon and settle into orbit around the Earth. Thousands of scientists, miners, and other astronauts are stranded on the far side of what is called the Arc, an enormous field of debris surrounding the planet. With no chance for rescue or further resupply, war breaks out between the miners responsible for the incident and the scientists whose duty is to bring them to justice. In the fight for survival over remaining resources, who will prevail?
Okay, so the back story isn't the greatest, nor does it make the most sense… All you really need to know is the International Space Agency and the Moon Mining Cooperative don't like each other. In Shattered Horizon, the PC-exclusive debut from Futuremark Games Studio, you can take part in the conflict!"
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.
