In my last post about the need to find a new game
to play in my spare time, I referred several games.
Well, none of them was the chosen one :-). I dont
know how it got through my radar (perhaps the fact
that it was released just last February), but I have
started to play Dystopia.

With the motto of “Jack In, Kick Ass”, its just as
close as it could come to a cyberpunk themed FPS.
There’s realtime/reallife battles going on, in a
“regular” 3D environment; but there’s also a second
level to the game which involves “jacking” into the
computer network of each level and hacking away at
servers (either to help complete the level, like
opening doors or disabling turrets, or to complete
the level itself, like destroying the data core)

Its a pretty cool game. Still very few servers and players; and
I still have to learn all the subtleties of classes, weapons and
objectives. I’m still going into WET a couple of times, but I’m
putting in some mind time into Dystopia; I even went so far as to
pay $9.95 for the HalfLife2 pack that allows me to run the
Dystopia mod.
Here’s some oficial and amateur footage of ingame ongoing
action:

to jack in…
