I didn't know this was an independent game company until I checked out their website at http://www.frozenbyte.com/.  Their first commercial game Shadowgrounds and its sequel Shadowgrounds Survivor are pretty cool.  You can get them through Valves Steam service and if you buy them both it's only 24.95.  More support for the independent gaming community.

np, it's kind of like a sci-fi gauntlet, really cool.  Lets hope EA doesn't gobble them up hehe.  :)

Heh, I've played the demo for shadowgrounds before, very fun little game, didn't like the aiming system very much, but other than that it was quite a bit of fun, definitely recommend it despite some of the little quirks. I agree about the EA :P

You can adjust how the aiming is in the options.  You can have the crosshairs always pointing up so the screen swivels or you can have the crosshairs move but the screen stays stationary unless you move the mouse to the right or left part of the screen to turn.

I guess what I meant is that I prefer the FPS shooting style than the third person. Other than that, kudos!

A somewhat similar game to this, and I mean similar as in third person shooter with armour and different guns that has pretty good graphics for the time, is  Alien Shooter. Just a suggestion to anyone who feels like playing with mindless violence at the god awful hours of morning. ^-^
