Darwinia
 

This game is <i>awesome.</i>

Darwinia is a very atmospheric action game - it plays a lot like Syndicate. It inherits its visual style from old 80's games, but it embeds it in a 3D fractal-landscape engine that just rocks. It's designed by the group that did Uplink: Hacker Elite, which you might recognize as another very deep and fun game.

Some pests harassing your squadron of good guys (the green ones.)

This is an excellent game - lots of fun, and much replayability. Multiplayer will be available soon.

I thought the demo was pretty neat once I figured out what I was supposed to be doing. It could have used an extra level or two, though. It'd be nice to get a bit more of a sampling of the game..

True, the demo was confusing - Introversion admitted as much and released a new demo with an improved tutorial. But even then, it was still kind of unclear.

cool. I loved uplink, and just this week I tried playing syndicate wars.
