Shatter now up on Steam, you need to play it photo

Whoops! The PC release of Sidhe's Breakout-style puzzler Shatter was yesterday ... and we totally missed it! Apparently, I should have had a V8. At the risk of getting a handful of "OLD!"s thrown my way, I figured Shatter could use the extra support, so that's essentially what this post is.

I missed out on the original PlayStation Network release, but I did download the PC version ten minutes prior to writing this -- the game rocks, in case you didn't know. In screenshots, it tends to come off as a nice-looking (albeit clone-y) brick-breaking game. In reality, it's so much more.

Set at a reasonable price of $9.99, you'd be silly not to immediately download this game. Shatter gets my coveted "certifiably badass" award, which I didn't just make up. Never speak of it again.

Fuck yeah, was disappointed when this was only a ps3 release because I really wanted to play it. Will nab it when I have a few extra dollars to spend.

The soundtrack is pretty killer, too.

This game was awesome until I decided I wanted that trophy for beating the game in under 10 minutes. I cried. A lot.

But yeah, purchase it.

Oh nice, full HD res and Steamworks achievements (aka the only achievements worth a damn, because they're the only ones that show you the percentage of all players that have completed them).

Oh, and if you enjoy Shatter, check out Ricochet Infinity - it's quite similar and only $5.

DO WANT, thanks for posting this. I don't have a PS3 and I was dying when I heard it was (originally) PSN only.

It's a little more on Steam because it has more content than the PS3 version.
Endless mode and Time Attack are fantastic.
