Pariah, for PC and Xbox
Pariah is a first person shooter PC and Xbox game by the company Digital Extremes. Pariah is rated M for Mature, Groove Games published it. It is out now. The warning for this game is Blood And Gore.

Heres-
Here is a screenshot from the game Pariah. The warthog-esque (think halo) machines you see in this pic control basically the same, which means they should be a breeze to move around. The complete arsenal of the game includes popular guns such as shotgun, and machine gun, stuff like that. Of course there are rocket launchers and sniper rifles ( keep thinking halo)and the Havcoc physics engine, which is very good, probably the best feauture of this game, other than the fact it looks amazing, with heavy emphasis on texture quality, and lighting affects. There is also an all new weapon upgrade system, which could prove vital in the free online frag-fests.

The story for this game is somewhat different than kill em all and blow em up ones from a lot of shooters, here it goes - You will take the role of Dr. Mason, who must transport a patient...easy enough huh? no. During the flight to the place they must go to, you make a crash landing into enemy territory, and to make matters worse, some of the patiends blood gets into the doctor and makes him infected with the same deadly virus she has. To add insult to injury, the patient dissapears, and it is your job get her and a cure for the virus, and you dont have much time before you both die...will you take the challenge? This game is about one hit kills, no stupid little handguns here, all the weapons are massive and can cause a lot of destruction, and they eat up a lot of ammo. You will most likey get tired of just cutting enemies down, so what better variation than just running them over in your warthog-esque machine? Well maybe this could be a fun alternative if the controls were tighter, but that they ain't. Sound affects are decent, the soundtrack isnt bad either, just dull. As you know this game supports online (Xbox live) and system link as well as LAN play and the internet.
