The original Section 8 was an unknown quantity launching just weeks before the likes of Halo 3: ODST, Resident Evil 5, Red Faction: Guerilla and Batman: Arkham Asylum. To put it lightly, Section 8 had quite an uphill battle on its hands. Now, developer TimeGate Studios has prepared a disruptive secret weapon: Turning the sequel, Section 8: Prejudice, into a budget download.

Based on what I played at PAX East, I'd say it's a strategy that might pay off.
