In case you wanted to drop a pair of sawbucks down on a new multiplayer only, Windows Vista/7 only, DirectX 10 only game, then Steam has the title for you! Shattered Horizon is made by Futuremark, the 3DMark folks, and is now available on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/news/3056/) for $20.

Shattered Horizon is the highly anticipated first game from Futuremark Games Studio that immerses you in the cold reality of combat in space like no other game before.

This multiplayer first-person shooter is played entirely in zero gravity. A catastrophic explosion on the Moon has filled near-Earth space with billions of tons of rocky debris. You and your friends will join intense 32 player battles to control hollowed-out asteroids, huge fragments of Moon rock and the ruined remains of the International Space Station.

With simple and intuitive controls, you have complete freedom of movement in the distinctive zero gravity environments. Not only can you use your rocket pack to fly anywhere but you can also land on any surface to attack your enemies from unexpected angles.

Shattered Horizon challenges you to take your FPS skills to the next level adapting what you have learned on the battlefield to create new tactics in a fully three dimensional battle space. With your rifle at the ready you can handle anything the enemy can throw at you. But if you let go of your gun, chances are you’re already dead.

So it's like Prey in space?
Hmm...
Or a poor man's Dark Void until it comes out...

I might look at this...

I'm interested in thi, but I'll want to try a demo, or at least read a well written review o it before buying it. The price seems right for a low profile multiplayer only title as well.
I liked the newest trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd-2dZMDAGw).

This is a really fun game. I played it in beta all the way through and I found it to be pretty awesome. The graphics are really good and the gameplay is very original. The way it works, is you can look at any object in the world and "stick" to it with magnetic boots. When you are stuck, you aim is much better and you don't put off the glow from your boosters, so you can stealth. My only complaint about the game is that there was only one weapon (albeit you can change the ammunition in the gun for different effects). For 20 bucks its worth it if you are looking for a new style of shooter.

I'm really interested in this, looks really interesting. But I just don't have it in me to make another impulse buy this month.

Maybe in a few weeks...
