Shattered Horizon Beta Announced

Ever wonder what it would be like to shoot enemies while floating through space? Futuremark is willing to give you that opportunity as a beta tester of their upcoming multiplayer first person shooter Shattered Horizon. Set after a mining accident that throws tons of rocky debris into near-Earth space from the moon, players will fight in zero gravity environments. "Playing a multiplayer FPS in zero gravity offers gameplay possibilities that simply cannot be found in conventional shooters," said Antti Summala, Lead Game Designer at Futuremark. "I invite every gamer looking for an FPS that offers something new and different to sign up for our beta test."

The Beta is available to PC owners that are 18 and older from North America and Europe. Players must have a dual core processor that runs Windows Vista, have a DirectX 10 graphics card, Steam account and broadband connection. If you're interested, you can sign up for the beta at the Shattered Horizon website.
