Meridian4 announces the North American edition of Alpha Prime is gold, just 10
months after the Czech and Polish editions of Black Element Software's
first-person shooter were declared complete ( story). Word
is: Montreal, Quebec, Canada – October 4, 2007 – Meridian4 today announced
that the updated and improved North American version of IDEA Games’ upcoming
first-person shooter, Alpha Prime, has gone gold and has been sent to
manufacturers. Alpha Prime will be available at retailers across North America
and at leading digital distribution outlets like TotalGaming.net, Steam and
Direct2Drive on November 6 for a suggested price of $19.99.
“Working with IDEA Games and Black Element has been great and all of the
modifications for the North American audience went smoothly. Making Alpha Prime
Vista compatible and adding full screen anti-aliasing has opened the game’s
market and makes the game look fantastic,” said Jeff Giasson, Production
Director at Meridian4. “Together with the visuals and the improved gameplay
tweaks such as auto-aiming when leaning, adding damage when throwing objects and
general combat balancing adjustments, Alpha Prime looks and plays fantastic.”
Somewhere deep in space, on the lifeless asteroid Alpha Prime, something has
gone terribly wrong… The miners were warned that the mysterious element known as
hubbardium was too dangerous to excavate, but the lure of unimaginable wealth
was too strong. Now, something has happened to them and it’s up to the player to
save them and face an unknown threat. Armed with an assortment of hi-tech
weapons and the ability to hack into the station’s own automated defenses, their
mission is simple; get in, get the survivors and get out!
Features of Alpha Prime include:
• Make your way through 10 levels of fast-paced,
unrelenting action including mining station, spaceship hangar, magnetic railway
and asteroid surface.
• Non-playable characters aid you in your mission to save
the miners and get off the asteroid.
• Battle countless enemies including Special Forces
soldiers, robots and deranged miners.
• Unleash your arsenal of 8 futuristic weapons including
pistols, shotguns, machine guns, grenades.
• Use vehicles to move to different locations quickly.
• Hack into devices including robots, surveillance cameras,
security systems, doors, etc.
• Bullet time allows players to temporarily slow down the
action and get the upper hand.
• Connect three screens with Matrox TripleHead2Go™.

hubbardium? as in named after L.Ron.Hubbard? Scientology related title? Someone pls correct me thx. This same discussion happened on numerous german forums. I think it's just an odd coincidence. Here's an excerpt, roughly translated into English, from CNET.de...
Hubbardium - which is the material, from which the dreams are. At least in “alpha Prime”, a Sci Fi Shooter for Gamer of age. Under days the diminished raw material, whose designation with security is ajar not coincidentally against the name of the Scientology sect of “inventor” L. Ron Hubbard, has rather engraving effects on humans. When in a mine ever more worker disappear, the powerful “Hubbardium Mining corporation” sends a reconnaissance patrol. But before the spaceship can land surely on the Asteroiden “alpha Prime”, it is fired at - the Albtraum begins. http://tinyurl.com/2x4ljj
