Knowing your audience is one of the most important aspects of any creative endeavor. Splash Damage seem to know this better than anyone – their latest game Extraction has been tested by an inner circle of fans for nearly a year now, with nary a peep of its existence leaking outside of the tight-knit community.
I sat down with Marek Rabas, MADFINGER's CEO, to discuss the extraction shooter scene and Gray Zone Warfare, his tactical FPS game.
Thus, the Balls Shooter genre was born. They're like Extraction Shooters, but with Balls.

AusGamers was recently invited out to Splash Damage's new digs in Bromley, UK, to play the upcoming Dirty Bomb, the studio's latest addition to the Enemy Territory lineage of objective-based multiplayer first person shooters.
"The Nexon rep that introduced the game to us bluntly explained that this is not a game for the “masscore” -- referring to the loyalists of mass-market competitive games like Call of Duty and Halo -- but a focused product designed for players looking for that additional layer of depth, strategy and teamwork on top of the twitch shooter experience. If that sounds like you, you might want to start paying attention to Dirty Bomb."
In this episode Warface is finally live, Blizzard DOTA isn't known anymore as Blizzard All-Stars and should now be called Heroes of the Storm, and Extraction closed beta is underway. The new First Look focus on the free anime MMORPG Hero of the Obelisk, while The Most Wanted game of the week is Magicka: Wizard Wars, an action PvP (or MOBA, let's put it out there) featuring crazy wizards and friendly fire.
