Hybrid
Developer: 5th Cell
This is a 3rd person shooter built with the Source Engine. Players enlist in one of two opposing forces, Paladins or Variants, each with their differences and specialties. “Innovation” is a key word with this game, as the game’s developer has promised a completely new experience for the genre. Given the studio’s experience with the Scribblenauts series for Nintendo DS, this promise seems plausible.
