Saying "Taldren boldly goes somewhere other than Star Trek," there's a Black9 Preview on PC.IGN.Com with a look at this upcoming cross-platform shooter. They offer extensive thoughts on the game, including what they feel are its influences: "In terms of approach, the team is obviously heavily influenced by the worlds of System Shock and Shadowrun. It shares with System Shock three character specialties, roughly analogous to the fighters, thieves and magic-users from traditional D&D games. Whether you specialize in shooting, sneaking or smarts is completely up to you and the game offers a range of content that caters to each class."
