^ They will, they will rock you: terrain deformation technology explained. | iPhone friendly YouTube version featuring terrain altering weaponry.
If only paintball could be this awesome! With the support of LucasArts, the designers at Day 1 Studios conceived a new sci-fi action adventure game where you can literally (well, virtually literally) move the earth under your feet. Fracture uses a new technology that in real time deforms the ground to gain you advantage in combat in more than a few ways - accessing otherwise out of reach places, creating cover from enemy fire, dishing out offensive moves, and buying precious time. When the ground shifts in your favour, your strategy shifts with it. But watch out, your enemies can use the same advantages against you.
Got about 8 minutes and a nice beverage? The developer show & tell above should gain you some solid footing on how it works.

^ The story is set in a futuristic, post apocalyptic San Francisco ravaged by civil war. Not that it was San Andreas' fault. More screenshots here.
I have three other titles to save money for this fall so while Fracture looks like good fun and plays well (I sampled the Xbox 360 demo) it's lower down on my to-get list, and hopefully I can find a used copy for a little less by the time I get around to it. I got through a bit of a real life tremble recently so I think I can wait a bit for the next one, virtual or not. Preferably virtual.
