    Hi, I'm looking for the best top down shooter with decent graphics. I'm looking for top down shooters like shadowgrounds and alien swarm, just wondering if there were any that were in the years 2000 and up with decent graphics that were better than the afore mentioned?

    Oddly enough, the new Starcraft has a mini-game which happens to be a top-down shooter. It's not very long though.

    Shadowgrounds isn't bad.

    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lsLUEp9Y4SI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lsLUEp9Y4SI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width='480' height="385"></embed>

    Alien Breed: Impact is also decent and relatively new:
