InterWave Studios’ implementation of RTS gameplay in their multiplayer FPSNuclear Dawnhas made it quite attractive to fans of both genres. The very idea of building structures, defenses and issuing commands to other players in one game, and then gunning down enemies on foot and taking orders from a commander the next is, well, interesting.

Those who have been on the fence aboutNuclear Dawnfor a while will be able to play the game for free this weekend in a special Steam “Free Weekend” promotion which has now officially kicked off. Basically, you get to download and play the hell out ofNuclear Dawnuntil Sunday at 1PM PST — no strings attached.
