The start of another year that the PC will have more AAA exclusives than any other system throughout the year. Why am i not surprised at all?

I'll probably be picking this one up this weekend.

It's pretty sad that our expansion are better than your whole games. While all of your guy's games flops (lems, cows, sheep), we get AAA games.

Heck, we didn't even hype this game. I can only laugh at your pathetic damage control.

That's pretty true, I didn't even know there was an expansion coming out. :lol: Yet another reason why PC doesn't own just graphically. ;)

It is a very good game, but it is also very tedious and can be extremely hard. It is like Sim City in space so don't go thinking it is another StarCraft or action packed RTS. Most of the game is spent increasing production and improving quality of life via menus for your various planets.

EDIT:  What the heck?  Did they increase the size of avatars?

This is awesome. To all the people who said the PC had a lackluster lineup and that the Xflop had taken its throne... You. Are. Owned!!!!

i like how the "old genres" of pcgaming are now returning with vengenace. First puzzle and racing sims went back to full glory, now 4X and adventure are being reborn. And with Jagged Alliance 3 and rumored new X-com and the recent ressurection of simulators...amazing time to be PCgamer
