Unity Technologies reveals SHADOWGUN trailer

Let's be clear. The game itself looks like a dull-as-ditchwater Gears of War clone, but the technology behind it is clearly rather clever and interesting. The below images are taken from a trailer for SHADOWGUN, a game in which you are John Slade and you shoot things, etc etc and so on.

But developer Madfinger Games claims this will run on Tegra 2 powered Android devices, thanks to the Unity engine's cross-platform development environment, which is damn impressive indeed:

There's a full-size MP4 trailer online here if you'd like so see more. We couldn't work out how to embed it. It's probably already on YouTube, but we're not interested enough in being a space marine and shooting things to check. Here's the press release:
