It's called Cortex command. it is a 2d side scrolling shooting game. It has a great way of demonstrating Murphys Law "anything that can happen, will" (i understand this isn't exactly what murphy's law is. Don't give me grief!)
anyways, the game is about you, being a disembodied brain, and controlling bodies. the greatest thing about it is that you can mod the game however you please! it does take a while to learn how, and there is a lot of faliure involved, but once you figure it out it is a lot of fun.
If you want to check out Cortex Command, the website is "www.datarealms.com" you can download a trial version free, or you can buy the liscense to the game. i would recommend the free DL first, to see if you like it, and if you do, buy the liscense. the game is a WIP (work in progress, for those of you who don't know what WIP is) so the liscense will only get more expinsive later.
Keep it simple, stupid
