I wouldn't recommend this if it was free. Your time has value to it, and there are much better games that are worth paying more for.

Hmm, I gave in and bought it for $2.99. Honestly, it would have to be a pretty damn terrible game for me to regret paying the $3 for it. There's not much to go wrong, is there?

When I play it sometime this weekend I'll be sure to go in with low expectations.

question for the people who are playing on it, has the steam sale boosted the online player count by a lot? i might be interested if there are more people playing it online than the 1 US server with 20 ppl that was showing up on game monitors site.

were those servers all in the US? how were the pings?
game monitor only shows 1 20+ populated server in US, and the others are in Europe.

Online games need to have free weekends like TF2.

This would be the perfect game for such a deal. Let people get into it and then charge 10 bucks.
MAD MONEY!!

Definitely more peeps playing last night thanks to the steam deal! Server was a little laggy at times -- but it was still fun! Buy this now! :)

"any issues running this on win7 64bit?" -- No.

Picked this up on Friday myself but haven't played it yet. Looked pretty cool and for $3 that's hard to beat.

Snagged it myself. For 3 bucks, I am sure it is not that bad. Plus, I am willing to bet the low price could cause a resurgence of players.
