Sword of the Stars

Has anyone heard of this? Apparently it was released last month, and aside from the Gamespot review I haven't heard any buzz about it.

Dude, I never even heard of Mario Galaxy before two days ago... there is no way I've heard of a random game like this.

I was sorta following the game until the released a demo last month as well.

The concept is cool and it has some cool stuff, but in the end it just didn't work as well as it could.

I bought it.. Played it and thought I loved it.

Then the game starts bogging down and lagging like a mother fucker once the CPU gets a bunch of ships out. It was to the point that it took like 3-5 minutes between turns. Ugh.

Other than that, I really dug it.

So fucking weird.  I could have sworn I posted a thread about this game last night.
