Blackstar space MMO gets the green light

[HEXUS]

NCsoft has sold its Blackstar IP and development will now go ahead.

Read more.

[Lucio]

Could use a new space based game since Eve went entirely PvP centric. We'll see how it turns out

[kalniel]

You might want to look at Jumpgate:evolution then Lucio - it's nearing completion.

[Zadock]

...Freelancer?

Its cheap, it can be coop or PvP online... you will get called a noob by 13 yr old american kids but hey-ho. GFX aren't bad but its getting on a bit now. I'm not sure if it has a global server anymore so you might have to look for IPs by a google search for servers with websites.

I have it knocking around somewhere, not played it in about a year though.

Sins of a Solar Empire is out in June. We'll be reviewing that one, hopefully this month.

Me too, until today, when we were asked if we wanted a review copy.It's a action/rts

It's not out till June 6th in UK, but it's been out in US for a while

Presumably that's just the disc version that's being released in June - we've been able to buy the digital one for a while I thought.

Ah, you may well be right. Kinda defeats the point of reviewing it then.
