Like the Homeworld series, only better

Pros: It was originally going to be called Imperium Galactica 3, but that would have been a major mistake. SSE is unrecognisable from the IG series. Gameplay is more like the Homeworld series, only better. Very - very basic development system (although it's possible to make major mistakes), this is essentially a space combat game. Easy to start playing. And if you're starting to win halfway through the game, you can increase the difficulty level. I almost forgot that playgame is very balanced.

Cons: Play this on the net??? I don't think so. I could think of few things worse then playing this game online. It's a long-winded game at the best of times (at least on single player you can save), on the net it would be last person awake (or alive) wins. And I doubt that you'll ever actually finish a game. Even after it's clear that you're going to win, it takes too long to mop up the enemy. It's poor endgameplay does detract. Did I mention that it was a long tiring game to play that gets boring?

Nice to play, but a new proper IG could have been much better. 3.5 stars here.

Nothing Special

Pros: Well I guess that it works.

Cons: In general, what I don't understand is why everybody wishes to produce a computerised copy of the dumbest version of Risk. It's been done to death. And this isn't one of the best ones. Computer to computer play is poor (appears to attempt to make up for poor IQ) and dice has a strong tendancy to destroy your large army in a important battle. It may be only $10 to buy the full version however I can't see anything that justifies even that.

Name Sounded Interesting - Pitty Game Wasn't

Pros: The name, yep that's it

Cons: For those who remember the old BBS games (pre internet), there was some successful games and there were the others. This would have been one of the others. It should have been left dead in the BBS archives. Enough said.
