"A PlayStation Network release date for the popular, action-filled first-person shooter, Section 8: Prejudice has been announced. The sequel to 2009’s fairly well received game features a heap of more content. PlayStation 3 owners should get their armour suits ready, and drop into some multiplayer action."

The new trailer for Section 8: Prejudice is awesome. It's apparent they are ready to rumble with Halo: Reach. In the trailer it says "There's nothing evolved about fighting".

"Everything the press release contained actually sounded like a better game than what Section 8 was, and that’s not really an April Fool’s joke that would be heading in the right direction for a franchise that never really got off the ground running."

"This week's Playstation Store update brings quite a number of games for the Playstation 3 and the PSP too. The PS3 gets 5 new games this week while the PSP gets 4 new games and a PSPmini."

"This week the trio discuss Uncharted 2 & Assassins Creed 2 DLC, PlayStation Motion Controller to be named Arc, Crysis 2 to be in NYC, Duke Nukem Forever might still be alive, and much more in the news section. For what they have been playing its Mass Effect, Kane and Lynch, Section 8 and ExciteBots."

"Every day for the twelve days of Christmas Electronic Theatre has been and will be bringing you the very best videogame titles of 2009 and advising you on what you should be looking out for in the January sales should you be brave enough to vender out in the cold weather. Today we look back at the slightly warmer climes of September 2009."

"After an initial update earlier today – promising good things for the future of the service – the full v3.2 revision is now available, adding further titles to the Games on Demand launch line-up. In addition to the likes of Resident Evil 5 and the bargain that is Viva Piñata, FallOut 3, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, Section 8 and ShadowRun are all now available also. FallOut 3 is priced at £34.99, while Section 8 is offered for £29.99."

"Have you ever wondered how two or more games might compare to another game in a screenshot comparison? Well, of course you have. That’s why it was decided that for the first time here at Blend Games, we’re doing a three-way versus match between three sci-fi shooters."

"SouthPeak and TimeGate Studios’ Section 8 on Xbox 360 has received an update to address player feedback from the first month of play. Following the North American roll-out earlier this week, Electronic Theatre can now confirm the update is available for Xbox 360 gamers in Europe."

If you're tired of Halo (or maybe just need a break) and are looking for a game to bring you some fun, multiplayer FPS action, maybe can think about the recently released Section 8. However, is this game worth the purchase? Spawn Kill's Molotov Cupcake breaks down this lesser-known title and lets shooter fans know if it is going to be something they need to add to their video game libraries.

"SouthPeak Games has dabbled in the FPS trade before. While its previous work was mainly in the development of FEAR expansions, this time the developer has turned to science fiction, hoping to deliver a lasting FPS experience for 360 owners."

Nothing But Shooters reviews TimeGate Studios' team-based first person shooter, Section 8, available on the Xbox 360 and PC.

If you haven't checked this one out yet and you don't expect to be too consumed with Halo 3: ODST this week, Section 8's multiplayer portion should offer a great time, though you may want to skip the single player campaign.

"As a large-scale multi-player based FPS, Section 8 is undoubtedly entering a busy marketplace on PC. Differentiating itself with a number of Science-Fiction tenets, what should rightly be cliché in gameplay becomes opportunity for tightly refined strategy. Burning-in to play is an enjoyable experience the first and hundredth time, first with the spectacle and later knowing that you’ll be dropping ready to take the enemy by surprise, or with a loadout painstakingly customised for the task at h..."

"The game uses the now traditional point accumulation system, in which specific tasks award a set amount of points, building until one team reaches the target score – typically one thousand points. While kills may earn a handful of points and hacking an enemy control point a few more, the Dynamic Combat Missions (DCMs) system is where the real points lie. Generating team-based objectives mid-game, randomly selected from a small set of possible events, DCMs often engage teams in not only their ..."

With Section 8 due to arrive on PC and Xbox 360 at European retail this Friday, anticipation couldn’t be higher for the large scale multi-player First-Person Shooter (FPS)."

"Section 8, developed by TimeGate Studios, is an online multi-player orientated FPS which will utilise the recently revealed X Server technology, supporting up to thirty-two simultaneous players on Xbox 360. Electronic Theatre has previously delivered much commentary on Section 8, with a hands-on preview back in July stating that the game offered “a rewarding experience”. Both PC and Xbox 360 release are set to deliver European FPS fans a new fascination later this week."

"After playing the Section 8 multiplayer beta on the PC for the past two weeks, I have to say that I was very impressed with it. So much so that I decided to take a look into pre-ordering it, but I instantly noticed that there was a big difference in price if you wanted to get the exclusive DLC for pre-ordering it."

"SouthPeak Games has today revealed the exclusive in-game items that gamers receive by pre-ordering the futuristic multi-player First-Person Shooter (FPS) Section 8 in the UK. Those who pre-order will be given a special code to unlock unique weapons and armour, to ensure they look the business when playing online."

LVLONE sat down with SouthPeak Games for a hands on preview of the multiplayer.

Featuring some of the most explosive action seen on the Xbox 360 and PC this year, the Section 8 demo is an easy recommendation for a free download."

"TimeGate’s Section 8 is due to launch on Xbox 360 and PC in little over a month, courtesy of SouthPeak Interactive. Those who have been following the title across the last few weeks here on Electronic Theatre will have been expecting this, a hands-on preview of the PC, but for those yet to have turned their attentions to the game, cast your eyes below to see exactly what all the fuss has been about."

Electronic Theatre reports on the revelation that SouthPeak Interactive will release a demo version of the forthcoming Section 8 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, as well as a handful of the Achievements set to be included in the final retail release.

"Section 8 is certainly looking to be a rewarding experience at present, with a grand selection of customisation options and some interesting ideas for developing online play beyond simple Deathmatch and Capture the Flag modes. Whether the Xbox 360 can deliver a similar experience online to that already witnessed by Electronic Theatre with the PC version remains to be seen, but achieving such a benchmark would easily make Section 8 a top recommendation for the summer’s end."

"SouthPeak Games has announced that the highly anticipated multi-player First-Person Shooter (FPS) Section 8 will be playable during this year’s Multiplay M Festival – which incorporates the world famous i-Series event. Taking place between August 7th and 9th, this is the first time the epic multi-player FPS has been publicly playable in Europe."

"SouthPeak Interactive hosted the European launch party for Section 8 yesterday, at HMV’s Gamerbase in London. With Section 8 playable on sixteen networked high-end PC systems, retail, media and general videogame industry dignitaries descended on the venue to compete against US Closed Beta participants, SouthPeak Interactive’s representatives and, first-and-foremost, each other."

Latest video for the upcoming multiplayer FPS Section 8. This dev diary from TimeGate Studios delves into gameplay features like "Burn In" and the every popular jet pack.

Devs are promising something different with Section 8. Let's hope they live up to their own expectations.

Latest Section 8 trailer, from publisher SouthPeak. Not a lot of fanfare surrounding this upcoming 2009 release as much as some others, but it looks promising in terms of multiplayer and customizable content... if you've been keeping up with it, that is.

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and say this now -- it looks rather like Halo.

"Following the release of some brand new Section 8 screenshots last week, SouthPeak Interactive has release some stunningly rendered artwork to aid the increasing anticipation. Section 8 is a large scale First-Person Shooter (FPS), coming to Xbox 360 and PC this Autumn."

"Section 8 is a large-scale, Sci-Fi FPS where fast-paced action meets military strategy in the far reaches of the galaxy. Join the epic battle between the 8th Armored Infantry and the Arm of Orion by taking part in fierce squad-based combat across majestic alien worlds."

"Section 8, from TimeGate Studios, the makers of F.E.A.R. Files, has re-appeared at E3.

The game is described by TimeGate as:

“an intense first-person shooter that gives players unprecedented strategic control over the battlefield, employing tactical assets and on-demand vehicle deliveries to dynamically alter the flow of combat. Set at the crossroads of a growing insurrection among its colonies, Earth dispatches the elite 8th Armored Infantry to turn the tide. Utilizing advanced pow..."

"Section 8 has been designed to let the player choose the experience by customizing equipment Loadouts, dynamically manipulating the flow of combat with on-demand vehicle requisitions, strategic asset deliveries, and Dynamic Combat Missions."

"Developed by TimeGate Studios, Section 8 is the highly-anticipated First-Person Shooter that gives players unprecedented strategic control over the battlefield, employing tactical assets and on-demand vehicle deliveries to dynamically alter the flow of combat. Set in the distant future when humanity is facing a growing insurrection among its colonies, Earth dispatches the elite 8th Armoured Infantry to turn the tide."

"Several members from the anime-inspired X-Blades development team will be present, along with Melinda Cohen, the model and in-game voice talent for Violette Summer in Velvet Assassin.

In addition to an early look at the Sci-Fi First-Person Shooter Section 8, Comic Con will also mark the first time that the new Roogoo titles – Roogoo Twisted Towers for Wii and Roogoo Attack! for NintendoDS - will be on public dis..."

I'm sure gamers are really starting feel woozy on this roller-coaster ride of information regarding Section 8, but the story seems to go a bit deeper when a cryptic response from SouthPeak unveils that the PlayStation 3 version of Section 8 may not be released with the PC and Xbox 360 version.

It would probably benefit gamers if the publisher just let the community know if the game was canceled for the console or not, but the article explains the rest.

Gamecock originally announced Section 8 as a multiplatform title, spanning the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. After a mix-up with the press releases and some misinformation about the game's release, it was eventually discovered that the PS3 wasn't going to be receiving Section 8.

Along with some screenshots released earlier today, TimeGate has unleashed the official Section 8 trailer for your viewing enjoyment. The game is a sci-fi FPS with a strong online/team-based element. This first trailer is CGI (or just the best game graphics' engine ever created - but doubt that) but hopefully shows off the kind of action we can expect.

"Southpeak Interactive is working on a new first-person shooter called Section 8. The good part is that the game looks like a spin-off of Halo and Crysis fused together. The bad part is that console gamers won’t be getting their hands on it. The other good part, though, is that we at least have some new screenshots and artwork of the game."
