3000AD, the development studio headed up by the always lively (and sometime controversial) Derek Smart, has been working on two upcoming downloadable titles. Today 3000AD announced that both sci-ti themed games (the land-based action shooter All Aspect Warfare and the flying action game Angle of Attack) are now available for pre-order via Steam with both games due out on August 10. (there's no word yet if any of 3000AD's older games will be made available for Steam at some point).

People who pre-order either game via Steam will get 10 percent off their normal price. If you decide to order both you get 20 percent off the total bundle price. In his new developer blog, Smart states that they plans to do updates for the games after their release to include Steamworks features like stats tracking achievements and the like. He also writes about the trials and troubles about getting games on download services like Steam, Direct2Drive and others. There's also some interesting observations on the PC game retail business.

This is the playable demo for Angle of Attack, an aerial combat game that includes both air and ground strike missions. The full game includes a 16 scenario campaign and 16 player head-to-head multiplayer.
"The Terrans have been at war with the Gammulan race for years. In an attempt to change the tide of war and take the battle to the enemy, Galactic Command, the Terran military body, launched an all out attack on the Gammulan homeworlds. The events that take place in Angle Of Attack occur during the final days of the air campaign of the assault on LV-115 – an important planet used by the Gammulans for military purposes and as a staging area for their assault on GALCOM forces."

The man behind the Battlecruiser/Universal Combat series of space sims, Derek Smart, is going in a different direction for his next game. Smart and his developer, 3000AD, have just announced plans to publisher All Aspect Warfare. This title combines sci-fi first/third person shooter gameplay with high flying vehicle action.

The game takes place on an alien planet where a group of elite space marines have crash landed. The problem? The planet has a massive nuclear device that is counting down to detonation. The marines have to find a way to fight through enemy lines on the planet in order to escape before the planet goes "BOOM"! All Aspect Warfare is supposed to have six character classes, over 20 weapons, 30 player controlled units and both a branching single player campaign and multiplayer modes. The game is due out in the first half of 2009.
