Oh, TimeGate. Still-unconfirmed (or denied) rumblings have linked ye t' a rather sizable portion a Aliens: Colonial Marines’ acid-puking awfulness, so there’s yer legacy for now. I’d be remiss, however, if I didn’t point out that the recently reviled studio’s proven reliably inoffensive in the past, producing middle-a-the-road manshoots like Section 8 'n a few FEAR expansions. So it’s with a slightly less mountainous mound a trepidation than expected that I bring ye word a Minimum, TimeGate’s new free-t'-play shooter/slasher/watch two Greek-mythology-inspired titans go all Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots on each other-er. Promisingly, it be inspirations seem t' run the gamut from Quake’s speed t' Unreal’s arcadiness t' Minecraft’s adaptability, but obviously, snapping all those puzzle pieces into a coherent whole be another matter entirely. I must say, though, the achy, breaky, blocky trailer after the break has me sort a intrigued.
