A really unique game that had awesome matches. Getting to make your own custom load out was great, and while I like its sequel more overall, the original has the better maps. Sadly, you can't buy this game anymore, but it still runs fine on modern hardware once you get past the games for windows live bit.
It was fun playing on the Xbox 360. The mix of unreal tournament movement with the power armor close to Heinlein starship troopers is really hard to find. I would love to see this available again.
Even tho (as an Xbox player) Halo is my all time favorite, Section 8 is not only the first game I played on Xbox but is what made me the die-hard gamer I am today. This game has fun action; the gunplay feels amazing; and is one of the few games aside from Halo where you feel like a supersoldier POWERHOUSE!! Obviously I'd love to have this game again, but I wish the world new more about it.
I played the PS3 demo for Section 8 so much back when it was new-ish because I really enjoyed its unique take on the FPS genre (including trading traditional spawns for the ability to drop onto the map freely and potentially crush an enemy when you land, which is hard but awesome to pull off), but I never got the full version for whatever reason. It wasn't until last year that it wormed its way back into my brain and I decided to get a physical PC copy.
By now, the game has pretty much been left in a compromised state, if not dead outright, for over a decade-- delisted, original multiplayer offerings largely unusable, DLC maps unavailable to buy, developer shut down (which is a tragedy of its own)-- but still enjoyable, since I don't mind playing bot matches or the campaign. That said, a rerelease with GfWL taken out and multiplayer/DLC reimplemented would certainly be welcome. I'd enjoy seeing this game return to its full glory. Same with its sequel Prejudice, too, of course.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Left 4 DeadFrom Valve (the creators of Counter-Strike, Half-Life and more) comes Left 4 Dead, a co-op action horror game for the PC and Xbox 360 that casts up to four players in an epic struggle for survival against swarming zombie hordes and terrifying mutant monsters.
Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D's survival co-op mode lets you blast a path through the infected in four unique “movies,” guiding your survivors across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests in your quest to escape a devastated Ground Zero crawling with infected enemies. Each "movie" is comprised of five large maps, and can be played by one to four human players, with an emphasis on team-based strategy and objectives.
New technology dubbed "the AI Director" is used to generate a unique gameplay experience every time you play. The Director tailors the frequency and ferocity of the zombie attacks to your performance, putting you in the middle of a fast-paced, but not overwhelming, Hollywood horror movie.
Addictive single player, co-op, and multiplayer action gameplay from the makers of Counter-Strike and Half-Life Versus Mode lets you compete four-on-four with friends, playing as a human trying to get rescued, or as a zombie boss monster that will stop at nothing to destroy them.Action Horror Survival
