		Underneath its flashy exterior, Tron 2.0: Killer App is still a fairly bland shooter whose few memorable moments are overshadowed by unimaginative level design and far too many load screens.
		The only difference is that in Tron 2.0: Killer App, the weapons just don't feel as precise or satisfying to use as the guns in most other first-person shooters.
		Tron 2.0: Killer App's campaign, which is pretty much the same as it was on the PC, still suffers from the same issues.

	TronKillerApp
		Tron 2.0 Killer App takes place 20 years after the movie and casts players as Jet Bradley, the son of Alan Bradley, the legendary programmer who programmed the original Tron program/alter ego in the film.
		The glowing walls and cyber-aesthetic were way ahead of their time in 1982, and it's a testament to the original designs that this approach still feels futuristic two decades later.
		Tron 2.0 Killer App also scores points by using many of the original actors, who all put in good performances which really enhances the game's story and plot, it's especially nice to hear Cindy Morgan in a different role, while Bruce Boxlietner's return as Alan Bradley should please fans of the original looking for authenticity.

	TRON 2.0: Killer App - Xbox (XB) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		TRON 2.0 Killer App follows sort of the same story that the movie did: you become digitized and downloaded into a virtual computer world and must hack your way through the horde of corrupt “programs” (actually enemy soldiers of the computer CPU) to cleanse the system of the corrupted forces.
		They are a bit trickier to control than the more typical FPS action that comprises the bulk of TRON 2.0 Killer App, but tricky controls or not, it’s certainly a nice authenticating touch to include these light cycles in the game.
		TRON 2.0 Killer App’s fatal flaw however, is its multiplayer Xbox Live gameplay.

	Unleashing the Killer App: Digital Strategies for Market Dominance
		It focuses on the potential of developing and managing digital innovations-or what the authors call "killer apps." To be precise, "A killer app is a new good or service that establishes an entirely new category and, by being first, dominates it, returning several hundred percent on the initial investment.
		There are three parts: "Digital strategy," "Designing the killer app," and "Unleashing the killer app." In "Digital strategy," Downes and Mui base their analysis on a combination of three concepts, namely, Moore's law, Metcalfís law, and Coase's transaction cost economics.
		The authors also seem to confuse the development of a killer app with digital strategy as evidenced in their example of British Petroleum's electronic kiosk innovation.

	IGN: TRON 2.0: Killer App Review
		Not quite the killer app, but definitely worth the collection if you're one of the few totally into the classic 80s movie.
		Tron 2.0: Killer App takes the theme of last year's Tron 2.0 PC title -- which is returning as Tron 2.0: Killer App on the Xbox -- and establishes a new story arch for the handheld gamer.
		But these can be forgiven because of one important fact: Tron 2.0: Killer App for the GBA is the first time two decades that Disney and Midway have made these games available anywhere outside of the arcade.

		Killer App has all the elements of a traditional FPS, though it attempts to separate itself from the pack with its plausible high-tech skin.
		In a nod to Metroid Prime, Killer App has you waiting through a timed meter while you’re accessing a node for textual story elements.
		The whole system makes Killer App a more customizable game than most fragfests, but since the build points are not granted through enemy kills, it feels a little cheap.

		The kiosk companies knew that the capabilities of ATMs were too limited to support advanced functionality, but they assumed that banks wanted to automate more and more the delivery of their retail products and services, and would therefore welcome the opportunity to upgrade their machines.
		Cash is now, and will be for a long time, the only killer app out there.
		There may not be another viable killer app, but there is a killer self-service strategy.

	IGN: TRON 2.0: Killer App Preview
		We recently had a chance to upload ourselves into the Tron 2.0: Killer App world with the preview copy of the GBA edition, and came away with impression on the game, its many mini-games, and even the extra GBA versions of the classic arcade Tron games.
		Playing either as the heroic security program Tron and the young games program named Mercury who's turned rogue when her system is hacked and the conspiracy is discovered, players will battle through more than 30 stages of enemy programs, deadly bugs and other dangers looking to derez the heroes.
		Tron 2.0: Killer App is due out this October, which hopefully means that the few qualms we had with the preview build as far as control in the isometric stages will be ironed out before release to complete this packed package.

		The characters too, are perfectly translated, and you can almost see the neon tubes sticking out of their uncomfortable, sweaty jump suits, making TRON a visual homage that will jerk tears from the most cynical of cyber-nerds.
		However, for anyone who has no interest in the film, the environments of Killer App will seem like the long, dull passages and warehouses that are the staple diet of every average first person shooter.
		Replace the naff neon panels with wood and concrete, and the groovy glowing arms with WWII gear, and you'd be looking at an early build of Medal of Honor.
