After watching the video, I have to say this looks awesome and it's the same developers behind the Sandstorm FPS which I also found rather impressive! Clearly it's inspired by the Halo games!

They need to release it ASAP!


May the NFOrce be with you always.

Cool gfx, way better than the DS, lol. But I don't like the controls/touchscreen/having your fingers cover 1/3 of the screen.

The sound was impressive Very Happy

1/3 of the screen? i think it's an illusion, dude. just try it and you'll see that the control spots are minimal, you ain't missing anything. and the games wouldn't be so popular and highly acclaimed if touch controls were a flaw.


Today I didn't even need to use my AK. I gotta say it was a good day. (c) - Ice Cube

I don't have an iPhone Very Happy

And you know these things are only popular because it's for iPhone, some douchebags would play even shit games. Even some crappy little screensavers get ultra-popular, ppl wanna throw money to Apple, it's like donating to the Church of Douchebaggery, it makes you hip !

Cool Face

I know what you mean about the apple-mania but you're sooo wrong about games. They really do own most psp and many DS titles. It's THE best portable enterrtainment platform today.

Btw I hate the Iphone (no multitasking) and recently gave my 3GS to missus, bought an Ipod IIIG for games & multimedia and switched to Android for communication/business use.

I hope it plays better than "Eliminate", which plays like total dog shit.

CoD Nazi Zombies didn't play too bad though, so there's hope at least.

There's lotsa hope because COD Modern Warfare... err, I mean Sandstorm played perfectly and this one's 100% based on the same engine.

I was extra-careful not to make any PSP comparison and sound like a fanboy. But someone else made the comparison.

Jesus fucking go find an Ipod Touch & try it. To judge only from screens and vids is pathetic.

And I'm talking about gameplay not the gfx. I can't put the Iphone/ipod down sometimes while PSP has what? God of War, Syphon Filter? And that's it. The rest is crap.

Yah, I was reading feedback about it, sounds like it's broken as hell. ;p

Still maybe I'll give it a shot. Anyone else try it yet?

It gives me the 'UPNP not enabled error' and I'm too lazy to change the wifi router settings.

Depends on how big your hands are. Personally I agree constantly re-aligning your aim plus turning by putting your thumb in the middle of the screen is a bit too involved because you can't shoot at the same time.
