Wow! It just came out yesterday unexpectedly, for me anyway. It has an ok single player mode (the story feels a lot like the 1st game) and also comes with 2 muliplayer modes. Mulitplayer has bugs.... its hard to connect to games (just keep trying different ones) but once you get into them they are fun (not much lag!). I only played one match and got smashed do to getting use to the controls and interface again but this game looks like a winner in my book. Let's hope the final will look/run a little better.

Hmmm I guess some of you might not know about Homeworld. It's a space strategy game (mildly like Warcraft). You send out units to gather resources from asteroids and use them to build yourself a fighting fleet. For more info on the game check out http://homeworld2.sierra.com/

To download the demo, here are some links (think you have to sign up for the free services of each of these), you can download from the main Homeworld site (VERY slow though), or any other download outlet you know of.

Yeah the demo is very good IMO. I never played the first, I never play the first of any space sims/RTS but I love the 2nd one. Take Freespace for example. I never played the first one til I fell in love with its successor, then I went back and played the first and was "Oh now it makes sense." I know, not a very good strategy to playing games but whatcha gonna do? You can download the demo above! Outstanding!

I loved the first. It's a cool laptop-in-airport type game... crowds always form behind you.
