Calibre 10 has all of the ingredients for a very, very entertaining game. It's like Trackmania with turrets, where a gunner and driver are paired together. Four drivers speed down the track included with the Alpha as they race to grab power-ups and avoid gunfire from turrets. The teammates can swap between any available turret locations on the map. Is a turret occupied by an opponent? Take it out and steal it from the enemy. Drivers can grab missile turret upgrades or debuff enemy turrets, as well as grab Nitro and Shield pickups. It's a fairly simplistic formula that keeps things balanced and straightforward. Unfortunately, I could only play against the AI so it's tough to tell how the whole game will pan out. If memory serves me correctly, the Live Arcade had a smiliar entry from the same team. From what I can tell, however, Alpha 1 has a bit of interesting content, a teaser, if you will. If they can iron out some of the loose car handling and reign in turret damage, this could be a fantastic title.
