    I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but I hope not, it's always nice to be first to enlighten.

    If you're an avid gamer, this will undoubtedly appeal to you.

    Will Wright always put out some unique games, I'm just wondering if he tries to cram too much into one game thou -- all those parts are by themselves already well-established games (I remember civilization... man that is one WICKED game...) To stitch them together I'm just afraid it'll be the jack of all trades, and the master of none. The game will have a little bit of everything, but doesn't excel at ANYTHING. That would be kinda sad, because the concept is so grand.

    cheers,

    yass

    A friend was telling me about this game last night, very very cool concept. Hopefully the executuion does the concept justice.

    I like the idea of using "demo scene" people for the game; these guys usually have some serious coding talent.

    Seems like once you got to the UFO stage, you would quickly run out of things to do. For me it would at most last for like a few runs of the game.
