Dark Horizon on the Horizon (August 9, 2008)

[Bandit LOAF]

Dark Horizon, the latest in a sporadic line of quality space shooters from unfamiliar developers, now has a release date: September 26th. CVG says it best, with a story that doesn't even mention the game's name in the headline: "Wing Commander-like space sim dated" (link): "Dark Horizon looks like it follows in the footsteps of X-wing, TIE Fighter and Wing Commander." Let's hope this is the title that re-ignites an interest in space combat games!

Great fun it looks like, and playable on any machine purchased in the last 5 years...

come on, 128mb's of RAM, it's lauaghable in a day when every machine gets pushed out the retailers doors with at least 1024 When i read Wc-alike, I thought about getting a new system to play it

I hope they do manage to get the wc-alike feel to the game, focus on the action ingame, and "off-game"?? create an immersive storyline.

As for going through old cupboards for your joystick, in europe I walk to the media market a lot, and this just might be an excuse to pick up the new HOTAS from thrustmaster.
