This looks ace. It's PC-only as far as I can tell. I've got a broken leg, and I've been gifted a copy of Edge (urgh), but there's a pretty decent preview of it in there (the only article worth reading so far) if you fancy reading it for free in your local newsagents.

http://www.introversion.co.uk/subversion/ - They actually started blogging about it in 2006 according to that site, so maybe people already know about it.

The graphics are similar to Darwinia, but they kinda look like 3D blueprints. As far as I can tell, you control an agent or agents, and you have to do things like rob a bank for example. It looks really neat. I can't find any more decent info online though :(

Subversion is going to be set in a modern High Tech environment, with you taking "mission control" over a team of skilled operatives in a hostile High Security building. You will be using Sabotage, Social Engineering and Grifting, custom Electrical and Mechanical devices, Distractions, Hacking, Stealth, Acrobatics, Precision demolitions, Trickery, whatever gets the job done. In the best case scenarios your enemies will never know you were even there. When things go wrong, a well prepared escape plan and well timed precision violence will get you out of a tight spot - or maybe not.

Anyone who's a fan of Introversion will know we love our movies, and many of our games are inspired by some truly great ones. Subversion's key movie influences would be high tech Heist movies like Oceans 11, Mission Impossible (the TV series - another old favourite from childhood to sit alongside Wargames and Tron as massively influential on us), Entrapment, Sneakers. You may also see a lot of Uplink in this game - which is no accident, as we've always considered Subversion to be the "Spiritual Sequel" to our debut game.

Looks a lot like the planning phases from the old adventure game "The Clue!" on the Amiga. Looks like fun.

No doubt in my mind at all that this will be fantastic.

I really hope it is a hit too.
