PI Writes:
"Imagine a turn-based Settlers meets a turn-based Transport Tycoon with an American history wrapper. If that doesn't make you go "Mmmm!" this isn't the game for you. You're going to have to wrap your head around a lot of detail in this remake, crammed as it is with persnickety economic optimization. The constant question is "who goes where?" with gameplay based largely on putting specific colonists in specific towns to do specific things. Where will I send this converted native? What will my new colonist study at the university? What kind of immigrant will I get next? Who will ride out to scout the natives? Jamestown needs an expert fisherman so the elder statesmen can preach independence. Hey, Europe, quit sending me petty criminals! It's a classic case of having to make interesting decisions -- and it's a great hook, because it's about people (and, yes, you can name them)."
2K will implement online service changes for several legacy titles, including releases for Windows PC, as a result of GameSpy Technology terminating its online service offerings for video games.
Beginning May 31, 2014, select legacy titles from the Borderlands® and Civilization® catalogs will temporarily go offline while service is transitioned to Steamworks.

GameFront, "In an age when even old-school FPS gurus like iD’s John Carmack are defecting to consoles, you can still be sure of one thing: strategy gaming has ever been and will always be the province of PC’s. Whether it’s due to the more cerebral, measured gameplay, or — more likely — the crucial importance of mouse controls, the jump to other platforms is rarely successful. Despite their large market share and stable, unchanging hardware, consoles struggle to sustain a pure strategy game."
I pretty much clicked on this to ensure that Homeworld was included and sure enough it is. I approve.
I never played Homeworld but I'm gonna check it out.....maybe Good ol Games has it for dirt cheap!
Damn it I want to play Homeworld. Why hasn't Relic got it up on a digital distribution service like Steam?!
