The Wild West setting that has been used to over-saturated effect has never found a stable audience with me. I will only watch a Western flick if either A) it has some value of importance within the cinema industry or B) it has a few of my favorite actors / actresses. I guess I've become too jaded by the gritty, hard-edge and survivalist nature of Westerns to give a damn anymore.

Hard West - PC Review

Ancient Space - PC Review
My first introduction to true space-based realtime strategy came near the end of 1999, roughly 18 months after the release of Starcraft which had been dominating my RTS time back then. When I first caught wind of a new title by Relic and Sierra I was fully in the grips of space-based gaming. From the old Wing Commander games to Freespace and the X games, I was desperately trying to find more titles that had to do with the inky blackness of space rather than the wooded forests filled with elves, orcs, and other mystical beings (though I still love a good fantasy game) and since I had to wait another year before Tachyon: The Fringe was released, I needed to find something. Enter Homeworld, which released at the end of September of 1999 and it was everything that I had dreamed of.
