Drawing from various classics such as Metroid and Mega Man X, A.R.E.S. Exinction Agenda is the first chapter in an episodic side-scrolling shooter.  Set in the 21st Century, Earch is over polluted and we are facing extinction.  A processing station is sent in to Earth orbit to help with this problem, but is overrun by “zytron” that kills the station’s systems and turns all the machines hostile.  ARES is a robot tasked with clearing out the station, rescuing the hostages, and stopping the machines.

I tried the demo on Steam, and it seemed very fun...but the keyboard controls make it very frustrating (as you pointed out in the review).

So newb question of the day. how do you use an Xbox controller for the game, is it a special controller you buy, or some accessory you need for a regular controller?

You need either a corded 360 controller, or a wireless receiver.

K, thanks.

Great job Spawn.

One thing, you may want to add a hyperlink to your interview with them in the review (where you say "When I interviewed the goons a few months back:")

Nice review. I need to finish this game actually.
