Face the Void! Dark Void the Game for PC!

At first glance this game seems very frustrating. The initial controls are sluggish (although they can be adjusted through the control panel), the graphics are okay, but not great, and the storyline is at least unique. The intro and video sequences are great, on my Fujitsu LifeBook N6460 there didn't seem to be much lag or stoppage.

Once you gather your wits and figure out how to fly the game gets interesting. The flying is awesome and can even get a little dizzying. The combat is flawless, again once you get a grip on how to use the controls, and you have full 360 degree combat style with up and down controls as well. Aerial combat is awesome when done correctly, and believe me, this game does it correctly. This is the first game I have seen where the old "Ender's game" adage of "your feet always point to down" really means something. If you stick to traditional up and down you will become very lost very quickly.

The story line is unique, the game play is seamless, and the controls are alright once you get the hang of it. I would say this is a definite 4 star game. The only thing I see that is lacking is the graphics are run off the unreal engine and seem 10 years old. Other than that it is a great game and worth the price of $ MSRP.
