Big Spaceship has launched their newest online multiplayer game 30 Days of Night, based on the upcoming movie starring Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, and Danny Huston. With character designs by Ben Templesmith (co-creater and artist of the graphic novel) and 5 different maps to choose from, players take control of either Humans or Vampires, and fight for 30 days. Can you survive the darkness? Will you feast for the winter? You decide.

Now that we have PR speak out of the way, let's do some more "shine the light on me" in less glaring tones. Like our previous game, Spider-Man 3, we went for a real-time approach, making the player control a team of either humies or vamps. It's a one player vs. one player setup, but depending on what Day you're on, you have control of up to 4 chars. It makes for some pretty hectic moments since while controlling one char, you also have to be aware of the rest of your team. Sure you might think you're feeding a lead salad to that stationary vamp, but if you look closely, your opponent is going gobble-town on your other chars.

And also: one of the human characters has a flashlight as his main weapon, which can not only do absolutely zero damage to humans but can also destroy a truck. If that doesn't convince you to play, then you are definitely not spending enough time playing video games.
