On television I was seeing a new starwars game for PC's only.

Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Is this the new game and have you played it?

I've played the demo. It's pretty good! I have yet to buy it, but I will be as soon as I get the money for it.

So much to buy, so little money....

What is the demo like? What is the point of the game? Is it like one of those "build a civilization" games with war?

MickG said:

Yeah, pretty much. It's along those lines. The demo includes one space battle and one land battle. It's a pretty cool RTS game. If you haven't checked out the demo yet, download it.

I had downloaded it last night

My desktop often requires a standard patch to make 3D games work, so I had to put it onto my laptop.

I played it on my laptop, on battery, the game seemed sluggish.

It was however kinda fun. I will have to check out my systems and think about buying the game.

MickG said:

Yeah, the demo has memory leakage issues in some cases. However, the full game has patches released to fix that already.

TMPletz said:

well that's a bit of good news, I wanted the game but not at the price of having to buy a new computer.

I have it - it's a trtedgy game (alot like Star Wars Galactic Battleground) but its way, way, WAAAAYYYY complicated...setting up trade routes between planets and then employing smugglers to get info, if a smuggler is discovered youi have to hire a bounty hunter, yaada yada yadaaa...and thats before you really play the game

Think a cross between Galactic Conquest Mode on Battlefront and the stratedgy of Battleground, whacjk yourself over teh head a few times with a frying pan, turn up the heat and close teh windows...that'll give you an ide of the tutorial mode.

Confusingly though its a great game which I dont have the balls to try and play because the computer controls will humiliate me before I start
