Shattered Horizon 50% off on steam + free weekend

I had been looking at this game for a little while and never ended up buying it. I tried it for the free weekend and wow this is something nice. Now don't get me wrong it's not 50$ of value or anything but the gameplay is solid and it's quite impressive how well they implemented the full 3d zero g movement.

The game also has great presentation and graphics. Between the fact that you won't hear gun noise if you shut down your suit(stealthy mode) or if you get caught in an EMP grenade to the awesome lighting. The immersion factor is there for sure. It's really something nice and unique to play.

DX10 only but most everyone here has a DX10 capable system anyways. I had heard that the game was "slow" but it runs great on my 5770 at max setings(2x MSAA though) at 1680*1050.

Well worth a try for the free weekend especially since the download is under 2 gigs. The full game is only 10$ too so it's really a great value if you end up liking it. This is the one shooter I have played that managed to feel unique in quite a few years.
 
It`s ok for a few romps but nothing more then that. It`s pretty good looking but it`s just not that fun. Glad I didn`t pay full price for it. Got it during the New Year`s sale.
 
I played it for a while mildly amusing but not all that great. And honestly the game doesn't even look that good, pretty bland (the game play too).

The performance isn't that great either with a 4890 and Q9550
 
i have a 8800gt and q6600. i turn down a lot of things, and lower res and it's still crappy performance imo.
 
i'm getting acceptable performance(cant notice any lag/problems) on a Q9550/9800gtx+/4gb/16x10 windowed

stupid steam auto-installed physx, cant see any settings for physx in game though.

no tutorial and bad map design makes it very beginner unfriendly. no visible option to start your own server and just run around to get the feel of the game.
