It’s very easy to tell that Paramount and Bad Robot’s downloadable title is a Star Trek game that is a top-down, space combat arcade title – which will be available on PSN and Live. But, other then that, we get very mixed up on the ‘DAC’ part of the title, and I mean really mixed.

Star Trek: DAC is “focused on fun, not a retelling of the story” of JJ Abram’s upcoming Star Trek reboot, according to Ben Hoyt, senior producer at Paramount Games. When calling Star Trek: DAC a mixture of Subspace and Geometry Warswhen describing the game.

Developed by Roboblitz creators Naked Sky Entertainment, Star Trek: DAC will support 12-person multiplayer, with two teams of six. AI bots will fill in the blanks if needed, or should your federation of online friends be unavailable. The game will also feature three modes, including solo play, cooperative play and a versus mode. Star Trek: DAC is due to hit Xbox Live Arcade in May, on or near the release of the movie.

You knew it was going to come sometime, so why should are you so shocked? Just kidding. Today, Activision and Microsoft announced the highly anticipated Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 for Xbox Live Arcade. But, still I find my self thinking more about the upcoming update for the 360 dashboard. Anyway, the game is being developed by the industry veterans at Bizarre Creations and it will be the the sequel to the smash hit, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved.

We have some good news and some bad news, the good news is there’s no bad news. According to a report made by PALGN , the OFLC has re-classified Dark Sector and it looks like the game will be hitting stores in australia very soon. The game will be coming in a new version, this upcoming version will feature no decapitation and "toned down … limb severing on humans [only]", which according to the OFLC classification database was still strong enough to earn an MA15+ and a warning against ‘Strong Violence’.

So, maybe there was a little bad news after all………….

The game was originally considered by the OFLC to be too strong for our shores, as a "violent and sometimes gruesome game with a sinister storyline and ominous outcome. The violence and aggression inflicted upon the protagonist is of a high level, naturalistic and not stylised at all."

Discuss: Do you think Dark Sector deserved a MA15+ rating in the first place.
