Time for another brand new IP from an unknown developer that everybody is going to ignore! The Scourge Project is a new third-person shooter from Spanish studio Tragnarion Studios. Tragnarion's previous work includes the iPhone game Map My Mind and ... not a lot else.
Despite the studio's untested status, The Scourge Project isn't looking too bad at the moment. Helped by the Unreal Engine, the graphics are pretty swanky and it looks like a proper retail game. This is impressive due to the fact that this title is actually headed to XBLA and PSN. I had no idea it was downloadable until I read the press release, so I must say I'm rather impressed by the visuals.

Still... it's great how developers are pushing the boundaries of what we expect of a PSN/XBLA title.
I'd love to see it in motion. Have to keep my eyes open for future updates on this title.
The alien doesn't even look unique! And the picture also shows what looks like a generic videogame hallway. First impression is it looks as bland as Fracture.
