Fast-paced sidescrolling multiplayer-only shoot ‘em up computer game. The game features cartoon-themed graphics and physics, and relies heavily on classic shooter weaponry and gameplay. The controls are heavily inspired by the FPS genre of computer games.

I think it has a good speed for a shared environment like is.

One of the things I liked, was the information available and the community. We can access:

1. Articles - Tutorials and tecnical articles to help config the VPS
2. Wiki - Tips and trick
3. Forum  - Talk to everyone.

I’m liking the service, and its easy to use. I’ll do a post about the Management system that Slicehost gives.
