Planet Zethos has fallen under the military control of Thau-Phi, a rogue Artificial Intelligence originally deployed to terraform and colonize the remote planet. Its absolute control of all automated systems on the surface includes a legion of labour robots, now acting as an impenetrable and selfless army protecting the A.I. core.
The only hope of liberating it without paying a steep price in Confederation lives lies in the crew of the DST Horizon, an elite mercenary group currently selling it’s sophisticated combat expertise to the highest bidder. They take jobs too dangerous for most merc outfits and too legally questionable for most military forces.
Horizon Riders allows players to control any of the four squad members on their mission to defeat Thau-Phi, dashing at high-speed through the surface of Zethos on powerful hoverboards while destroying the renegade cybernetic army with their advanced futuristic arsenal.
This information comes from Nintendo Power…
– Takes place between H.A.W.X and H.A.W.X. 2 on the PS3/360
– Storyline cowritten by Flint Dille
– Ron Perlman and David Zayas voice acting
– Devs want the characters to be memorable
– One mission has you flying to different harbors in search of battleships, will need to wait while your bombers rearm before you call them again if you choose the wrong target
– Sometimes need to hit ground targets in on-rails segments, avoid hazards
– Another type of segment: Take on enemy tangos, focuses on more-close-up encounters
– Second player can usually join in at any time
– Drone missions: Have specific goals with the drones like locating hidden enemies, can lock on to a computer and hack into it by playing a mini-game (rotate Wiimot to line up your cursor with the glowing section of an on-screen circle), once the goal is complete, you move onto another computer
– Some missions take place in outer space, like when you fly a shuttle to a space station, space station explodes when you arrive, skydive back to terra firma and avoid debris
– Multiplayer: Top-down arcade shooter, up to 8 players (one player controls the ship with the Wiimote, the other controls another jet)

Just pretend all the paper gets turned into video games by a witch or something.

Last week I got ahold of a really sweet shelf to store all of my video games on, and while my collection isn’t the biggest or best out there, I’d say that I’ve got a good amount of games. Here’s the problem with having a good amount of games: You don’t have time to play them all. Every single gamer has a backlog of games, some bigger than others, and I’m ashamed to say that my backlog is quite a hefty one. A little while back I read a post on GoNintendo talking about the administrator’s (Kevin Cassidy) massive backlog of games, and reading that post inspired me to finally take action in completing MY backlog. Along the way, I hope that you guys join me and work on your backlogs as well. If you do, e-mail me at [email protected] whenever you beat a game and I’ll be sure to post about it on the site! Include a story/explanation if you want, but no pressure. Anyway, onto MY backlog:
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
A lot of games, am I right? So here’s my plan: Beat one of these games every week and write about my experience with it as motivation to keep plugging away. For all of you out there, it’s time for you to delve into your backlog as well. Join me in my quest to finish all of the games I own and write to me about them. Each week, every single person that tells me their finished game will get put up on the site to bask in their glory for a bit, and then move onto the next one. Who’s with me? Anyone?
This week’s game…
