Star Trek Game To Launch Alongside New Movie

Paramount announced yesterday that Star Trek D-A-C will be available for download for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC when the movie is released on May 8th. The acronym in the title stands for different types of gameplay: Deathmatch, Assault, and Conquest. It's an arcade-style game, with a solo mode as well as multiplayer modes that handle up to 12 players. According to Joystiq, "It's a top-down 3D space shooter that doesn't require a lot of hardcore gameplay experience to jump into, but it features a large amount of strategic gameplay that'll please hardcore gamers." Several screenshots have been released.

Deathmatch, Assault, and Conquest ... what?

This isn't Trek.

Where the heck are the "Diplomacy" and "Seduce Alien Woman" options?

Well, if Khan was a genius and his tactical planning was limited to two dimensions, who are the game designers to try to work in 3?

The real reason Khan couldn't think in 3 dimensions was because he was too arrogant to look up and his chest was so massive that he couldnt look down.
