There is this game... that just came out... that is awesome. Its like new-age chess with guns and a board that is never the same.

You get a team of green guys on a blue-print of a building. You are fighting against a team of evil red guys also on the blue-print.
The game alternates between planing phases where you tell your guys where / what / to shoot and how to move and when to do it, and then the outcome phase where it executes your turn versus the red guys turn. Sometimes people get shot, sometimes people dont. Then its back to planning.

It sounds slow, but if you like thinking in Video games, then... Great Scott!!!

I was thinking about picking it up on Steam but it's too pricey for an indie game ($19.99). I'll wait for a deal, or wait for a demo first

I don't like the visuals, but the premise is cool, and I'm up for checking out any indie game with some innovation behind it. Cheers for the link.
