So while I was working my butt off at two jobs for the last three weeks, a few things happened that I didn’t have time to cover then, so I figured I’d give ’em a quick rundown:
- RTSGuru brought word of a new browser-based space strategy game called Starpires that looks neat despite it’s…wacky name.
- The Beyond Beyaan blog had a few interesting updates covering design changes, the race selection UI and the player setup screen.
- Space Sim Central has word of a sequel to the arcade shooter Space Chunks entitled Space Chunks II: Lair of the Chunk Lords, which looks pretty fun. Never heard of Space Chunks before this, so I added it to the list.
- Over on Quarter to Three, Kevin let me know about a new space game called Blockade Runner, which looks like “Minecraft in space” and might not be a bad thing at all.
- ModDB brings word that Homeworld:@ — a mod for Homeworld 2 that is “building upon the foundations of Homeworld and Homeworld:Cataclysm to create a faithful sequel in the Homeworld:2 engine, with new ships, storyline, and game mechanics” — has been released.
Whew, that was a mouthful. :) I hope to be all caught up on news now. :) Thanks for reading, and if I missed anything, please contact me. :)
I do so wish I enjoyed RTS games more than I do; sounds like a ton of great games I could really enjoy. But I do think that between your and Tom Chick's impressions I'm going to have to dig into Zombies and Space Pirates.
Space Pirates and Zombies is GREAT, totally worth any space game fan's time I think. :)
