    The first phase of Global Agenda’s major new Sandstorm patch is being released soon. You can get prepared by buying the game on Steam for 25% off (that’s $29.99/₤18.74/€22.49) until the 31st.

    You can also get a free unlimited demo to try it out. (Available on the Steam Store page).

    You buy the game one time and get access to alot of the game without any additional fees. However, if you want the rest, you have to subscribe for $10 a month (which is quite reasonable imho).

    Steam Store Page:
    Global Agenda on Steam

    Developer overview of the coming patch:
    YouTube - Epic Weapons - Video Dev Blog

    Launch Trailer (Be warned that the game is quite different from this):
    YouTube - Global Agenda Launch Trailer

    No Elves Trailer (Comedy):

    Beacon Warmers Machinima:

    Personally, I love this game (300 hours+) and can't wait to see what they will do with it. The vanilla release was ok, but it was more FPS with RPG on top. Its good to see they will be adding more RPG elements. :D

    Any of you tried it? If you have, or are a Trial player, add me in-game (iKill) and I will help you out/answer questions. :D

    Well, I'd try it again once 1.3 comes out. They are drastically changing the game. :D

    I got the demo, played it a bit, I wasn't very good. Guess I could give it another shot after the memorial day weekend is over.

    Also love the No Elves movies! Even cracked up my World of Warcraft friends lol!

    Some fan made this. It is quite good at demonstrating actual gameplay, while being very "flashy":

    I think it's a very nice game.

    I would recommend the game, and Guild Wars to anyone who is looking for a small online RPG/Action-ish gaming experience, that is not heavy on time commitment:=) No monthly fee required in both of them is a big plus!
