Section 8: Prejudice Releasing this Month

Many of you probably haven’t heard of Section 8. It was a multiplayer game only in the same vein as Tribes and even though the product was a bit rough around the edges, it provided a decent multiplayer experience. It also probably sold well enough to warrant a sequel that goes by the name of Section 8: Prejudice. This downloadable-only game will hit the Xbox360, via Xbox Live, as well as the PC via Steam and Games for Windows Live by the 20th of April 2011. The PS3 release (Via PSN) has been delayed a bit due to unknown reasons.

No this isn’t Halo
