Star Trek DAC on Xbox Live Arcade May 13

12.05.2009

Mode-wise, you've got Conquest, Deathmatch, and Assault. Conquest mode is capture point driven, Deathmatch is obviously kill-driven, and Assault mode is basically Conquest with objectives you've got to capture in order. Mechanics-wise, it's essentially rock-paper-scissors in space.

What's the DAC stand for? No one knows. Paramount says it's a secret. Uh-huh. Data Acquisition Control? Digital to Analog Converter? Deferred Acquisition Costs? Divide And Conquer? Duck And Cover? Does Anyone Care?

Anyway. Why didn't Paramount have Star Trek DAC ready for simultaneous launch with the movie? No idea, but you'll be able to grab it off Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday, May 13th.

One last thing: Reason to be mildly enthusiastic? The developer's Naked Sky Entertainment, the guys responsible for , a third-person physics-based puzzle game, for both the Seamus McNally Grand Prize and Excellence in Visual Art awards.
