GamesAreEvil.com writes "Ubisoft has something to show you: While it might not completely revolutionize FPS multiplayer, it might be worth the dime to see what they have behind the curtain. You see, they have taken the Unreal engine, built a fairly decent multiplayer FPS and imprinted some nuances that will be heralded as truly original. All for ten bucks."
"Cell Factor: Psychokinetic Wars is a new breed amongst the downloadable game debris that clutters both the PSN and XBOX Live. It is a FPS Multiplayer arena that takes what worked previously in every good Unreal FPS and added things you'd never expect, some of which are awesome, others…not so much. Instead of building just another run-and-gun Unreal based game, Ubisoft and Timeline Interactive have integrated elements of games and geek lore like "Half-Life 2", "BioShock", "Halo", "The Terminator", "I, Robot" and even "G.I. Joe" to succeed where many expensive games' multiplayer incarnations have failed. Despite their tech demo showing last year that heralded Cell Factor as reinventing the wheel, this small offering shows great promise in the Unreal Engine. Their effort to balance a futuristic landscape with murderous robots and psychic powered humans seems sincere. The only question is: "Will anyone play it?"."
Of Interest to me list their picks for the Top 5 first person shooters on Xbox live arcade.
When it comes to online multiplayer for consoles, Call of Duty: Black Ops is the undisputed king in terms of popularity, but it’s by no means the only or even best option. Yes, games like Halo: Reach and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 vie for supremacy (BBC2: Vietnam is a testament to that), but there’s also a handful of downloadable shooters that come up short in terms of features, but still provide fast-paced and thrilling experiences without breaking the bank. If you can’t afford to jump on the COD bandwagon or despise the series, consider the following alternatives.

Bfbc2 vietnam and Modern combat domination will fill me with fps goodness until kz3 comes out.
Killzone 3 really has me on the fence about holding off on buying two graphics cards. Killzone 3 may force me to buy a Ps3 and just one graphics card. I know it's BLASPHEMY but I gotta do something cause I'm foaming at the mouth for Battlefield 3 and that won't be here for a while.
Had to take a break from BC2, I've gone through two mice on that game.
Overall, while it's light on full games, and contains no PSOne games, this week's update is loaded to the brim with ways to enhance existing games.
Looks like an awesome game! Anything that lets me kill people is A-OK
I love this game. So glad someone took the time to showcase it beneath the pile of summer "Blockbuster" games.
It is an interesting idea to see these new Downloadable FPS's. I wonder how Battlefield 1943 will compare?
With an already crowded Summer release season, do games like this even matter anymore?
What the heck is a "Battlefield" and what does it have to do with CellFactor?
