I sometimes have trouble keeping track of all the different Starship Troopers games out there, but the upcoming Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War stands out for a couple reasons. One, it's being made by Auroch Digital, developer of the very excellent Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, and two, there's now a demo on Steam so you can get into the bug hunt action (and take your first step toward citizenship) for free, right now.

In some ways, Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War—based on the little bit I've played of the demo—bears some resemblance to its Boltgun cousin: It's got that blocky boomer shooter visual style, and violence is wet and plentiful. But even with just a few minutes, some big differences immediately leap out.
