Title says it all!

I'm playing it right now (ok did play ... and will play after posting this ). It's somewhat like StarCraft 3D on steroïds!

Amazing graphics!

    Kickaha and Amorph couldn't moderate themselves out of a paper bag. Abdicate responsibility and succumb to idiocy. Two years of letting a member make personal attacks against others, then stepping aside when someone won't put up with it. Not only that but go ahead and shut down my posting priviledges but not the one making the attacks. Not even the common decency to abide by their warning (afer three days of absorbing personal attacks with no mods in sight), just shut my posting down and then say it might happen later if a certian line is crossed. Bullshit flag is flying, I won't abide by lying and coddling of liars who go off-site, create accounts differing in a single letter from my handle with the express purpose to decieve and then claim here that I did it. Everyone be warned, kim kap sol is a lying, deceitful poster.



    Now I guess they should have banned me rather than just shut off posting priviledges, because kickaha and Amorph definitely aren't going to like being called to task when they thought they had it all ignored *cough* *cough* I mean under control. Just a couple o' tools.



    Don't worry, as soon as my work resetting my posts is done I'll disappear forever.

    The most confusing thing for me was during the tutorial. The voice directions kept saying Control key when on the Mac they mean Command. Once I mashed various keys I figured it out.



    Haven't played a full game yet. Perhaps I will right now.

    Very fun, but the demo is extremely short and impossible to lose. They should have included a single multiplayer map so people could 1-on-1.





    The music is incredible, though. Very interesting.

    Game looks nice. I finished the demo earlier today. It is very short. Once I was starting to get in to it, it ended. Will I buy the game, very likely.



    I guess the demo worked afterall. Placebo, you planning on buying the full version?

    I really don't know. I'm saving up for some new GPU hardware first.

    While I was out shopping today I stopped by an Apple store and a Comp USA and neither had copies in stock. Kinda bummed.



    As far as game performance, I'm not sure how this game would run on consumer grade hardware. My dual 2 Ghz G5 w/ 9800 Pro plays it well, as it should.

    Did the PC version cost 50 bucks when it came out a year ago? It's now selling for 19.99.
