    Just so you all know, tuxgames finish doing Shadowgrounds Survival and as a surprise they also did the first part. The good thing is the first part is only 13.00 dollars to download the whole game. I have yet to try it, but looks fun.
    You can get more info here;

    Just a small update on the game. I been playing ti for a bit over 2 hours so far. I cant give you a final verdict but for now, it's well worth the 13 bucks. You actually have bosses, I was completely surprise by it too. I have everything on ultra high settings and it runs very smooth on a 9800 gts. If you are a fan from the top view arcade shooters, you cant let this little gem go. Ill take some screen shoots and post them so you all can have a better idea. So once again this game does get my seal of approval.

    There a bit of strategy on it too, as you kill the monsters, they drop upgrade parts. You then collect the parts and decide which weapon to upgrade and witch one to use more frequent.

    As promised here are some screen-shoots. I play in full screen but I had to alt-tab in because I don't know how to take pics in full screen mode. You will see part of the gnome bar.
