Dropping from the sky: Section 8 has plenty of it

Dropping from the sky: Section 8 has plenty of it screenshot

If we created a “Bulkiest Space Marine Armor of the Year” award it’s quite possible Section 8 would run away with the it. The men of Section 8 are wearing some of the bulkiest, most burdensome stuff we’ve ever seen. But there’s a point (beyond beating Epic Games at their own rough-and-tough-dude game): the soldiers in Section 8 are sci-fi paratroopers and when they jump, they hit the ground hard.

Below the fold is a lengthy trailer for the game. It focuses on the jumping gimmick and shows off a few of the equally armor-burdened enemies in the game. You’ll see plenty of pew pew lasers, rockets, weird robot things, and even knives if you choose to brave the page break.

When we saw the game at E3 2009, we came away pleasantly surprised: The loose shooting (as seen in the trailer) and the jumping mechanics impressed. In a few words, it looks like this SouthPeak Interactive game will be better than Velvet Assassin -- not a mighty accomplishment, but reassuring nonetheless.

The PC and Xbox 360 versions of Section 8 hit retail August 25.

Invading The Highline.

I decided today to check out NYC's new Highline Park. What once was an elevated train track, a relic of the past, is now a modern park setting, stories high above Manhattan's West Side. It truly is a gorgeous sight, but hovering over 15th St. and 10th Ave., I noticed a tiny visitor below me. Do you see him? Keep reading to see a closer look:
