Dark Sector is a new 3rd-person action game that was released last week by Aspyr Media, a Austin/Texas-based game publisher. The game was published for PC in March 24. It was also published for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in March 25 . Dark Sector was developed by Digital Extremes, which also worked in the past on such PC games as Pariah (2005), Unreal Tournament 2004 (2004), Unreal Tournament 2003 (2002) and Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island (2001).

Getting out of the ship won’t be so easy.   Continue reading
