Space shooter that lets players assume the role of Ensign Adama some 40 years before the events of the original '70s television show. The story is set during a critical time for the human colonists as the war against the Cylons is coming to close. Adama has recently been assigned to the Galactica as a pilot and gamers play through the events that will shape the man who will later be Commander Adama, the captain of the last Battlestar leading a ragtag fleet of humans to their fabled homeworld called Earth. The game, developed by Warthog, is based on the 2003 Sci-Fi channel miniseries.

We'll be taking more in-depth looks at Metal Arms and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel next week since we were able to get more hands-on time with them and they deserve the attention, but for now console yourself with some handy impressions of a smattering of Vivendi's console lineup. We've got something for everyone here. Read More »
