Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network haven't traditionally been the most familiar territories for new first-person shooters, but titles like Serious Sam HD and Battlefield 1943 have started carving out a respectable niche. Ignition has decided to join the fray, announcing that Blacklight: Tango Down is set to arrive on XBLA, PSN and PC this summer.
Details are hard to come by on the Zombie Studios title (first revealed nearly a year ago), but we know it's a "military action" franchise that prides itself on its weapon and character customization. Zombie describes the near-future world of Blacklight as "disturbingly detailed," with "old-world architecture dripping with modern sci-fi lighting and brightly lit advertisements." And just a crazy number of Grateful Dead posters.

you know, that would actually be really cool. I actually cant think of a zombie game where you aren't either a survivor or some specialist knee deep in conspiracy, playing as the military guys that always come in at the end of the movie to save the main character, or at the start to kill them, would be really awesome

For an XBLA/PSN game it does look dope and stuff. If it's got good framerate and physics I might have to pick this up.

Considering that it'll probably be $15 or so, it looks pretty great, definitely gonna keep an eye on it

The game looks fairly well for a XBLA title and seems to have good phsyics. Which makes me wonder why they didnt put more into it and make an actual full title..... Is this their first game so far?
