    Zero Gear is physically-fueled, online multiplayer kart combat madness.

    Deck out your kart and character before jumping into one of many different game modes. Outrageous kinematic gameplay and weapons make every round a blast. The potential for tiny vehicular mayhem has never been so humongous! Boost, flip, spin, and slide your way to victory!

    Up to 8 players.
    Customizable karts and characters.
    Multiple game modes to compete in, including Race, Tag, Goal, and Target modes.
    Over 15 maps to compete in.
    Non-stop physics driven action.
    Ridiculous weapons and power-ups, including tornadoes, repulsor shields, and love-seeking L.U.V. bots.
    _________________________________________________________________



    Zero Gear was released today and is on sale until the end of the week for $14.99, until January 18th, where it will shoot up to the premium price of $19.99.

    On top of this, Zero Gear is free to play until January 18th.

    Go get it off Steam, now.

    Do you have it Filthy? I saw this last week, but haven't tried the demo yet.

    The skeeball mode looked pretty damn cool.

    It's really cool, lots of stuff to do, the achievements are fun.

    It's a really physical racing game, which makes it awesome. I've had countless incredible finishes to my races which include me being punched with a boxing glove and being shot through the air across the finish line.

    Really fun stuff.

    I use Steam on my Mac and it runs better than it does on my Vista.

    Not that hard to believe, it is Vista :p Gah, this is the last straw. I need XP on my Mac. I'll pick up a cheap copy off eBay.

    The full version is playable for free on steam until the end of the weekend, I'm using a 360 controller and it's freaking great!

    Dammit, I just played it. Might have to buy it now.

    You can use a 360 controller? Awesome.

    Saw this game on my steam list and I have 2.1 days left to play it. It's only 240 mb so I'm giving it a shot now :)

    Does this game auto-configure the controls for the 360? I just tried it with the keyboard and it's not bad. It's online only and I prefer a more steamlined setup for servers like in left 4 dead. It's a really fun casual game that would probably do way better if it was free and made money off ads. I'd love to play this with my casual gamer friends but I'm would never convince them to spend any money just to play videogames with me. 14.99 isn't a bad price if there's a decent online community but the steam weekend deal right now is DIRT 2 for 19.99 and that game is amazing (and even has the 360 pad auto configured)
