Futuremark Game Studio emailed me this morning to let me know two really great things about their FPS, Shattered Horizon, winner, by the way, of our 2010 indie games tournament.

The first piece of good news is that you can now own the game for $4.99. That’s about how much you would pay for a few tacos at Taco Bell and, really, you’ll feel better after playing Shattered Horizon.

The second slice of good news is that the game’s original price of $9.99 has been permanently slashed to $9.99. So, if you don’t think you can afford it this weekend then you’ll still be able to get one of the best independent multiplayer FPS games for relatively cheap. Certainly cheaper than Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 anyways.

If you’re unfamiliar with Shattered Horizon you can check out my review and the official description:

Shattered Horizon is an innovative game from Futuremark Games Studio that immerses you in the cold reality of combat in space like no other game before.

This first-person shooter is played entirely in zero gravity. A catastrophic explosion on the Moon has filled near-Earth space with billions of tons of rocky debris. Join intense 32 player battles to control hollowed-out asteroids, huge fragments of Moon rock and the ruined remains of the International Space Station.

With simple and intuitive controls, you have complete freedom of movement in the distinctive zero gravity environments. Not only can you use your rocket pack to fly anywhere but you can also land on any surface to attack your enemies from unexpected angles.

You can get the game now via the Steam link below.
