A singleplayer demo for this sweet game is out!
Downloading now as we speak.
The Battle at Stonehenge
The demo is one mission and can be played on three difficulty levels. With a couple of ships at your disposal you need to defend a space station while trying to get help and not be noticed by your enemies, the Gorgs. Pay close attention to all communications as you are thrown into the action immediately.

Seems rather interesting, downloading. Will post my opinion on it after playing.

I wonder how different it is from the Imperium Galactica III demo that was released a long time ago.

Rather bland. Unconvincing visuals. Horrific plot (it didn’t take more than one single briefing to see that). Music was ok though. All in all not worth the download time wasted on it.

Yay! Sounds like a game worth buying.

I've been waiting for this game even before it was renamed, twice.. RAD I value your opinion but i'll give it a go, for the visuals at least. :D

Rad doesn't know what he's talking about. The best part was when the zombies kept scaring me and I was running out of shotgun ammo and the zombie spiders ate me.

Hey, share that shit bitch, remember: puff puff pass!
Now, this Nexus game, is it kinda like Homeworld 2 in its gameplay or what?
Edit: Or rather HW2 cross X2 ( minus the trading system ) maybe?

Hmm, looks like some blockbuster remake of B5 for the pc. Overall I like the eyecandy, besides that I don't like how the game plays.. my main complaint is keeping track of the battlefield, it seems unorganized.

i think the unorganized feeling will dissipate with some tutorial missions to get us into the feel of the controls, right now there's nothing to really "get us into it" other then the little text file.
visuals look great. looking forward to the game.

okay, the demo is pretty crap. I had to replay the friggin' thing 5 times to get a rough idea of how the controls work at all; there is no tutorial whatsoever.
Plus, the camera seems able to stick only to objects; no free-floating camera which is pretty crap as well. The graphics are nice, and the weapons effects as well, but the game mechanics is really bad.
As its a demo, i'm keeping an open mind. But if the final game is still like that, the chances of me buying that is about the same as the chances of me buying Universal Combat.
