USB Stick Packed with Shattered Horizon

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Patriot is offering a limited edition USB bundle.

PC gamers looking for a new USB flash drive may want to pick up Patriot Memory's new limited edition Xporter USB bundle. The package contains a customized 8 GB or 16 GB USB drive with a game download code for the zero gravity, multiplayer first-person shooter Shattered Horizon over on Steam. Patriot plans to release additional Shattered Horizon bundles at a later date.

For the uninitiated, the game's description is as follows: "Shattered Horizon is an innovative first-person shooter set in zero gravity and offers action-packed gaming for up to 32 players at a time. Set in near-Earth space 40 years from now, players fight it out in zero gravity to control hollowed-out asteroids, huge fragments of Moon rock and the ruined remains of the International Space Station."

Although Patriot did not provide pricing and availability, consumers can grab the bundle at TigerDirect, CompUSA, Frys, and other online retailers.

This game is physx lover. If you ATi, it purposely lowers your performance.

CPU physics, not GPU ones. This is a very CPU intensive game.

If it's the same price as competing 16gb drives then why not :D

Though this game is a bit of a resource hog

"and the ruined remains of the International Space Station."

--- now that's worth dying for!!! Rocks and hollow-ed out asteroids rock but junk ISS is really the best!

Dangit I just bought this game like 2 weeks ago for $20. It is a pretty sweet game though. It gave me headaches at first (just like Descent did!), but once you get used to it, there is epic action to be had. Pretty intense trying to assault a flag when there could be people coming from any angle.
Would be better if more people played...middle of the night will have about 2 total playing. the levels are pretty much all the same, asteroids, space station remains, satellite remains, etc. but the space backdrop is always fun to look at.
Performance could be better, but I have everything turned up.

This game runs like a pig.

I was getting 15 FPS on minimum settings with an i7 at 3.6GHz and a 4870 with the demo.
