A company can't get a better build up than "God Bless.." as the opening statement. Then to top it off, it get slapped on again at the end of the same paragraph just to drive the point home. I know someone who will get a great X-mas present next year from Frogboy for sure.
The article is choked full of references to the sacred cows of 4x gaming to boot and it does not come across as a patent shrill or pandering either. The words are carefully chosen to add layers of meaning and express a genuine intent. Moreover it is graphically rich with high quality visuals and conveys a remarkably epic feel to the game accordingly. Word for word it this about the best review I have read to date.
If I had to nitpick it would be the "open beta" comment. It is not accurate anymore unless something changed in the past couple days.
