Wow. Just wow.

Completely taken by surprise with this game. Fantastic.

Really looking forward to it. Gaf seem to be raving about it, the amount of depth looks staggering

[The Alchemist Penguin]

Pleasant surprise: Lode Runner is up, and is only 800 points, not the reported 1200.

EDIT: And from a first play, it's as good as I'd hoped.

It's now 1200 points. The 800 price point was a mistake. Lucky for people who grabbed it early.

Red Faction Guerilla Demo Now Available

If you're anxious to get a little hands-on time with Red Faction Guerilla before its June release date, then it's your lucky day; THQ released a single-player demo this morning for the Volition-developed shooter. The demo is currently available on the Xbox Live Marketplace, while PlayStation 3 users will most likely have access to it later this afternoon. PC gamers are, apparently, getting snubbed entirely for the time being.

I never played the original Battlefield and I know this one is more 'arcadey' but is 3 maps for 1200 points worth it?

Star Trek: D-A-C Officially Announced

STARFLEET WANTS YOU! STAR TREK®: D-A-C FROM PARAMOUNT DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT - COMING SOON TO XBOX LIVE® ARCADE, PLAYSTATION® NETWORK AND WINDOWS PC

Players Battle for Space Supremacy at the Helm of the Starships, Including the New U.S.S. Enterprise™ from the Highly Anticipated "Star Trek" Motion Picture

LOS ANGELES - April 23, 2009 - Paramount Digital Entertainment, Bad Robot Interactive, CBS and Naked Sky Entertainment today announced the launch of Star Trek®: D-A-C, coming to Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft this May, and to PlayStation®Network and Windows PC shortly thereafter. Inspired by the upcoming "Star Trek" movie from Paramount Pictures, Star Trek: D-A-C is a fast-paced, top-down space shooter where players take the captain's chair and engage in intense online multi-player or co-op battles. Pick up and play, then lead your team to victory.

"The upcoming 'Star Trek' film has ignited interest among a new generation of fans as well as longtime fans of the original," said Tom Lesinski, President Paramount Pictures Digital Entertainment. "With that same goal in mind, Star Trek: D-A-C was designed to appeal to 'Star Trek' fans and gamers alike. The pick up and play arcade-style game play lets fans take the command and boldly go!"

Star Trek: D-A-C allows fans to directly control a variety of ships and pitch battles between Starfleet and the Romulan Empire. Up to 12 players can compete in thrilling team combat. There are three game play modes - single player, online multiplayer and online co-op. For each mode, there are three different game types - Team DeathMatch, Assault and Conquest. Players can choose from three ship types for each faction, including the newfeatured in the "Star Trek" film. Each ship - the powerful Flagship, the nimble Fighter and the devastating Bomber - offers its own unique capabilities for players to master and manipulate as they fight for victory. In addition to featuring the new U.S.S. Enterprise, Star Trek: D-A-C incorporates music and signature sounds taken directly from the new "Star Trek" film.

Star Trek: D-A-C is scheduled to launch May 2009 for the Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360, and for the PlayStation Network and Windows PC shortly thereafter. It is rated "E" by the ESRB.

Due to be released May 6 isn't it?

Due to be released May 6 isn't it?

Not sure, all I've seen so far is a May release but no actual date confirmation.

[Tineash]

Why "D-A-C"?

[HSH28]

I never played the original Battlefield and I know this one is more 'arcadey' but is 3 maps for 1200 points worth it?

I'd say so. 3 maps really should keep you playing for a very long time.

Put it this way, its only 400 points more than map packs you get for certain games.

A whole game for that much? Pretty much a bargain.

Another way to look at it, is its the same price as Death Tank for a 'next gen' multiplayer FPS experience...I think anyone complaining at 1200 points is just wrong.
