One of the year's great success stories was this space strategy title from Vancouver-based Ironclad Games, which put the small developer on the map and scored another hit for its increasingly influential publisher Stardock. Ostensibly a member of the "4X" genre of domination-oriented titles, Sins of a Solar Empire , with its explicit focus on battles and its real-time nature, is more like an RTS with 4X scale. Best part is... <p

[quote who="Hack78" reply="11" id="1953273"] Spock losing his cool is coming damn close to that... I hope he won't be screaming around like a little girl with spittle flying or something like that. About the only passable form of rage for a (Half)Vulcan I can imagine is a silent deadly one. Maybe its that 7th year thing again - pon farr [/quote] or those darn flowers again!

JJ is giving a little present for everyone. Trailer has new stuff http://downloads.paramount.com/mp/startrek/Trlr2_internet_480p.mov

Hi Majorstress. Not to derail the thread too much but the forums have gone down, my contact has left HDI and any chance of anything happening is long gone I am afraid. The engine and IP is owned by some hungarian bueracracy due to Mithis closing shop years back. There was talk of trying to scrap together some money buy the fans to by the engine and make it open source but that has been met with deadend after deadend. There are still some modders working on it and even doing campaigns but with

I don't know how I missed this. And you all thought I was crazy to ask about rotating sections way back before the beta started. Now a Nexus mod could be created as well. [e digicons]:inlove:[/e]

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="9" id="1950373"] Quoting Pherdnut, reply 8 I was looking at the listings for sci fi the other night. 5 hours straight worth of game shows and BS 'paranormal investigations.' No sci fi. TV execs are idiots. Indeed. They score recurring funding for stupid "reality" shows and the ever so sci-fi laden ECW, but somehow can't pull it together to rescue any of the recent half-dozen or more one-season wonders that would have

Keep up teh good work guys. Looks like I can give the nexus Trek mod a rest [e digicons]^_^[/e]

William Shanter responds to the New Star Trek Trailer Responce:

Well no matter, I will be grading this movie against Star Trek II.

[url]http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/startrek/[/url] DL is inconsistent. My bet is it is getting slammed. It is also exclusive through apple so the official site won't show it until tomorrow. BTW. It is needed to be seen in Hidef. Youtube hack job didn't do it justice.

[quote]Did they put out any new info during E3?I haven't heard much new for months now which worries me considering the last stuff I heard was that it was relatively pretty now, but the AI was still as dumb as a bag of hammers.[/quote] Not sure about the AI but G4 did some stuff on it. Unfortunately E3 this year was pretty much a bust. Generally you only hear about teh high profile games like LBP, R2, Fallout 3 and such while great games not classified as AAA titles take a back seat.

Well, it ships Aug 31.

Upon logging on to the mythos site forum I was greeted with this from the Mythos team. [quote]“Travelers of Uld, We, the ancient elders of Uld are issuing this warning to all citizens and travelers. Hurry! The great darkness that once plagued Uld is returning. Everyone is ordered to close down their shops and prepare. We predict the when night is at its peak the darkness will arrive. The ancient elders of Uld will be leaving immediately in order to preserve the lore of this wonderful

OK, only 1 month to go and no talk? I am a big fan of the original and I can't wait to play this. To kick things off... how about a Tac nuke!! [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8jwfR3-iI8[/url] I hope I get more situations like this. Just adds to the overall immersion... Here is some of my postings and impressions of teh first game. Shows why I can't wait for this one. [quote]went to the spot with the chopper and snipped 2 guys behind sand bags. A 3rd guy took off for th

it was a custom mod that someone made. [quote]On October 17, 2005 Krahulik and Holkins donated $10,000 to the ESA foundation in the name of Jack Thompson.[47] Earlier, Thompson himself had promised to donate $10,000 if a video game was created meeting certain criteria (See: A Modest Video Game Proposal),[48] but after a vaguely similar (in spirit) mod to the game Grand Theft Auto was pointed out to already exist, Thompson called his challenge satire and refused to donate the money,[49]

I beleive he is actually in his early 50's (51 I think I read somewhere) and he also got in trouble for sending a judge gay porn saying this is what is in the game Bully. As much as I think Jack is full of crap I am concerned that the next nut that takes up his 'cause" may be more compitent and that could be bad for all us gamers.

Well, Microprose is still around and working on games so maybe... .[link="http://www.microprosesystems.com/"]WWW Link[/link] It will be interesting to see if they revive many of their old games

[quote]I wanted to comment on something someone mentioned earlier, I don't know if it has been addressed or not. But, you CAN make flyers in this creature creation thing. I made a quick little "wasp-type" creature, and you can even get it to attack with its "stinger".1. Simply lift the body in the air, adjust the spine thickness to get your body and thorax, and add some wings from the extras section (whatever is after weapons).2. Add and arm (not a leg) where the stinger would be and position it

It is a stand alone. There is also 2 be 2 story lines. One from the US side and one from the Japanese side. I really can't wait to get my grubby little hands on it. I was in on the private round-table and I hope they were able to take the hint we need modding abilities.

The PS3 would be a good choice since a mouse/keyboard combo on a PS3 is as easy as plugging it in. I doubt it would happen but would be nice.

[quote]If you remember Wrath of Khan the Miranda supposedly outclassed the connie. With spocks comment of "she can still out run, and out gun us"[/quote] Sorry, I just have to say the reason for the quote is due to Enterprises level of damage. They were not able to get up to snuff after the first encounter with Reliant. Remember Scotty said not to give too many bumps. Everything is routed like a Christmas tree. Anyway... Major, that is really coming along nicely.
