Been playing all day today, and it's great.
A very refreshing take on the shooter, it's like if you blended TF2 with DOTA. You've got classes similar to TF2, but in this they're even more distinct from one another and they all have four upgrade paths you spend cash to max out and gain new abilities. And let me tell you, the amount of abilities you have at your disposal at one time is mind-boggling, allowing for a ton of strategic choices.
Joystiq's review does a decent job explaining it:

It's also got a cool style and a great since of humor, although some of the lines do get a little old.
If you're looking for something with a bit more depth than today's deluge of brain dead point and click shooters then give this one a spin. The trial gives you an in depth tutorial and then 30 minutes of game time, online or off.
I haven't had this much fun with a multiplayer shooter in a long time. Hopefully some of you guys get a kick out of it too.
Monday Night Combat is the new hotness
