Section 8 is a brand new first person shooter game that is so confident in what it offers that it has shrugged off the threat of the bigger boys on the block, namely a new Halo and new Call of Duty game, to launch at the same time as them.

Multiplayer is the key to Section 8′s confidence – a shooter can’t succeed without a big and bold online element, and this game has the ability to support up to 42 players on PC and, in a first for the console, up to 32 on the Xbox 360 by using X-Servers.

There is only one mode in Section 8 – red versus blue team, but it does include a tactical way to enter the game, using a battlefield overview that shows you the enemy strongholds, and then offers to let you drop far out from the fire and work your way in, or risk it and drop closer by. This eliminates the spawn camping that spoils so many multiplayer games.

The developers have taken care to avoid annoying gameplay tactics like pogoing and running away from shots with cooldowns on the Overdrive, or super speed ability, while including all the stuff gamers like, namely really big guns.

Powered by the Unreal Engine 3, the graphics in Section 8 are solid and decent. The beta showed that there were plenty of people who enjoyed the online frantic action, and if it can maintain that level, then the game will remain a success.

With so much focus on the multi-player, you need to remember there’s a full single player game to enjoy as well. You play as part of the 8th Armoured Infantry, nicknamed Section 8. That’s a term from the military for soldiers who have been discharged for being mentally unfit.

Release date for Section 8 is 11th September 2009, and it’s available for Xbox 360 and PC.
