So I grabbed a copy of Shattered Horizon on Steam since it was relatively cheap and I like the idea of a space FPS with approximately Newtonian physics.

The story, such as it is, is that some mining company blew up a chunk of the moon, the International Space Agency is pissed at them for it, and all the crud that was blasted into orbit means that nobody can safely send a shuttle to rescue anybody. So now everybody's shooting at each other for supplies and such.

Everybody's kitted out the same: space suit, rocket pack, rifle, and a selection of three different grenades. So there's no worrying about how different classes play. The pace is slower than most of the twitchy games out there, which I like.

They gave everybody that bought it three 3-day guest passes since a demo would effectively be giving away the whole game. Anybody interested? They expire in a month, so speak up before 17 December. Also, it requires DirectX 10, so if you're running WinXP, it won't work for you.
