Two great games, the first is a western game with a singleplayer campaign and a great online game. The second is a beautifully rendered space game called shattered horizon. The moon has exploded and left a trail of debris around the earth. Two factions fight it out on eight maps (with more free content promised) to control the area above earth. The developers have already delivered four extra maps and a weapons upgrade since the games release last year.

I posted the following about Shattered Horizon last year; (with some editing):
I don't usually buy multiplayer only games, nor bother downloading the free ones apart from America's Army (free) and Red Orchestra (commercial). It's hard for me to describe why, but suffice it to say I find jumping straight into multiplayer games rather daunting, however when I first saw Shattered Horizons I thought this has to be an exception. I though even if I find I don't like the game after playing it (there doesn't appear to be any demos of the game so the only way to play is either buy the game or get a guest pass from someone else that did buy the game. (You get three passes to hand out); afterall, £4.99 (approx $7) is hardly worth worrying about, especially if I did make the right choice. I checked virtually all of the available You Tube videos of the game and a lot of reviews. The reviews put me off a little because most said despite the game play being different and it having fantastic graphics, the game didn't have enough modes and only a few maps (four in total), but the videos and the promise of more free content soon converted me. (which they delivered on) So I bought it last year.
You have to have Vista or Win 7 installed and you need a reasonable computer spec to play the game. Most computers less than three years old should be okay. you'll definitely need a DX10 ready graphics card and a minimum of a DUAL CORE AND 2Gigs of RAM.
You can check out details of the game via Steam (the only outlet for the game) HERE
Despite my apprehension at cold jumping straight into a new game with a different take on the First Person Shooter genre; (that is there is no up or down because you are fighting in the cold starkness of space), I am so enthralled by anything space I took a nose dive into the game and was amazed. I was expecting to get pawned immediately like I was when I first played Battlefield 2 online; however the great thing about this game is that it relies almost entirely on skill rather than someone having a better weapon than you. Everyone gets the same equipment and weapon. Of course, being familiar with a game is an advantage, but that always comes if you play a game long enough.
If you loved the Gemini and or Apollo space missions and have followed NASA’s journey ever since I think you’ll be captivated by this game.
