As you might expect from a company specialising in software intended to push your computer as much as possible, the graphics are excellent: lifeless bodies drift into the depths of the void, the distant Earth makes the playing area seem so much bigger than it truly is, and the themed heads-up display adds a nice, atmospheric touch to the proceedings."
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.
