Starhawk is a third-person shooter action game developed by LightBox Interactive and Santa Monica Studio and is set to be released on May 8 in North America and 9th & 10th for the PAL Regions. Starhawk is the spiritual successor of Warhawk.
In a few hundred years in a future, Human beings have started colonizing other planets, the game is set in a colonized planet called "Frontier" where miners are searching for a powerful substance called "Rift Energy" the miners are commonly called the Rifters. However since the energy is incredibly powerful it has began to mutate some miners and they formed a group called "The Outcasts", Who are supposedly protecting the Rift Energy and will stop at nothing to protect it.
Starhawk is a multiplayer-based third-person shooter. However, the gameplay stays true to Warhawk's style; only a few changes have been made. Firstly, the "build and battle" system has been added, which means players can create structures (such as sniper towers, walls, barracks, and many others) adding a RTS (Real Time Strategy) element to the game. This allows players to build up a fortress, using Rift energy to build these various structures http://starhawk.wikia.com/wiki/Starhawk

Definitely an awesome game. The whole wild west in space theme really suits it, and very much reminds me of Firefly.
If anyone else plays let me know and I'll add your PSN ID below.
