A new online first-person-shooter from Villain, Archetype, hit iTunes today for the humble price of $2.99, with none of the "freemium" bullshit that has plagued some other promising iTunes shooters. Villain is asking a straight three bucks, no questions asked, and it's possible that it could be worth the cash.
This is a game that's going to rely on support from players, and I'll be interested to see how it succeeds. Hopefully it does well, as I wouldn't mind picking this up myself if the community's there to keep it sustained. What do you reckon? Looking good at all?

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

it might be ok if it isnt cranky about where the thumbs rest
LaMorteSicca = How about you play the game before you go and insult it? Don't be so butt hurt because your daddy won't buy you an iTouch.
Well, they have my support.
Is anyone making you play it? Are they holding a gun to your head?
The answer to that question is probably 'No, for some reason I just wanted to give people a hard time about a game that's no skin off my back, and is probably quite enjoyable.'
Just let people play the damn game. If you don't want to play it, fine, but don't bitch if they're having fun.
On a sidenote: Define a 'core game.' I don't want an example, I want a definition of what a 'core game' and a 'real gaming device' is.
A Flicker of randomness in a sea of spam - God i hate how the "veiw comments" section works these days.
