Kudos to them, and it's great to hear they're seeing better numbers than with the first game.
I suppose I'm a bit of an odd case, but I'm also another example of why the lower price point works. I read the review here, watched the video, and instantly bought the game... yet I don't even have a Gold level Live account. I simply was in the mood for a really solid fun single player futuristic FPS. There was no way I was going to spend $60 on a game that I wanted just to scratch an itch and had no intention of touching 75% of, but at $15 the price was perfect.
Thinking a little about how to price a game instead of just throwing everything on the same shelf for the same price works. I wish more companies did it.

I'd like to get this but I have SO MANY SHOOTERS. Although the cheap price will probably convince me in the end, then the $70 or so I save can be used on the games that insist on competing against eachother in the burn-a-hole-in-my-wallet price range.
Australian game prices suck, good thing we have Steam.

Sounds really cool, would love to play it and also see a Yatzee review of this game.
Is it available on Steam?

I bought it on release day, and I have to say that it's better than most £40 shooters out there. If you can, you should definitely get it.RADlTZ said:
I wish I had the funds to purchase this, but even $15 bucks is a bit of a stretch (there is also a problem with not having the time, but whatever). I did try the Demo, and it was awesome. Once im able to, im deffinitly buying this.
Off Topic, Anyone remember Blacklight: Tango Down?

I played Prejudice but I do have to say that the campaign was shorter than most FPS's and although the multiplayer has a cool way of coming into the map, it can get annoying when someone lands on your head 2 seconds after you land yourself.
I like the game, but its pretty dead on PC right now. They need to have a free to play weekend or something because its really empty most of the time.
Yeah, I liked the idea of customizing your weapon and stuff but the game was balanced so it had extremely high lethality and specing for defense was futile, accuracy was everything and speed was useful to exploit the UE3 netcode. I think it would have worked better with gunplay like Brink where you do have a use for damage output.WanderingFool said:
Wow, good point. I was just wishing that it would come out on Steam, then I saw this and realized it was already there. Timegate! Pay Valve money! Get it on the front of the Steam page with some fancy review quotes and you will get tons of sales! All Steam users love $15 gamesComic Sans said:
The fuck...these guys have an office 5 minutes from my house...and I've been itching for a new shooter...DAMMIT, I just got a $20 gift card too but it's only digital ><
Did the original Section 8 have a single-player campaign? I might pick this up when I get Microsoft Points next, it really does look freakin' amazing.
Haha. Kohan. Now there was a bad RTS. Section 8 certainly made up for it, though.
That and Ozgameshop [http;//ozgameshop.com].RADlTZ said:
I wish there were more games like Prejudice. Hell, most shooters are about four or five hours long...and we're expected to pay full price for them. This is one of the many reasons (But in the top 3) as to why I have given up on modern shooter games, and almost gaming in general.
Pff, try New Zealand. MW3 standard edition is retailing for $150NZD. What's it over the pond?RADlTZ said:
That's sad. I think Time Gate pushed the XBLA platform first and that seems to be doing much better. It would be great if both the Steam and XBLA communities could play together but that's not going to happen anytime soon.Comic Sans said:

Holy tits. Across the pond (in 'merica) MW3 standard is 60 bucks. (about 64 with tax). I'm not sure how the exchange rate is between our money however.Reaper195 said:
EDIT: googled exchange rates and 150 NZD is 122.01 USD. Which is still about double the price. Is that all for shipping? Seems like forking over an arm and a leg.
