Shack PSA: Age of Booty $5 on Impulse

Certain Affinity's swashbuckling downloadable Age of Booty has been reduced in price to a mere $5 on Stardock's Impulse service this weekend.

Self-described as a "casual real-time multiplayer strategy game," Age of Booty was first released on Xbox Live, to largely favorable reviews. The title challenges a maximum of eight players to sail across a hex-based oceanic battleground, capturing towns with their upgradeable ship avatars.

From what little I've played, the addictive, competitive nature of the game is best enjoyed in a multiplayer setting. Solo players beware--multiplayer gamers, on the other hand, should consider this a steal. Don't forget you can check out the demo first.

Every one of you should log in to XBox Live and buy this game right now. This game is a FANTASTIC little RTS with a surprising level of depth that the goofy name doesn't indicate.

From what little I got to play - way too simplistic. No thanks.

I assume you have to install their client to download it? I'd be it in a second if it was on Steam.
