    Ion Assault is an arcade space shooter that has not really a lot in common with the typical arcade shooter. The beautiful art and level design is the best special feature in this game while the sound settings are really weak.

    Either you hate or love this game and sit for a 30 minute sessions trying to beat your own or the leaderboard high scores like I did. Graphics are something special and should run super fast on any mid-end computer or laptop.

    If you can get it on sale then GRAB IT! really worth it.    … Full Review »
