GREAT!!! That's how I started with SE3. It should bring in some more new blood.

UPGRADES HAPPEN

Sorry, I've been off the board rebuilding my Win2k system. I'll get my scanner installed tomorrow and up a scan of the article (it's only 1 page).

Re: CONGRATULATIONS MM and SHRAPNEL!!
 

Read the review. Looks good. A full page. Balanced, fair review. I think the author liked it even more than the rating it got, but those are geared more towards the typical gamer I think.

Still waiting for the first mention of PBW in one of these reviews. Ah well... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Not surprising. The editors usually tweak down the scores on non mainstream games, and I venture that this was brought down due to it being a Gold Version and that there is a LOT of competition for the awards this month.

Plus we don't advertise with them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

We had another game that got dropped barely below 90 because of the same issue a few years back.

Actually, from what the article said, they typically don't even review Gold Versions. But this one was good enough to deserve a review in their minds. And it said the Gold Version got a higher rating than the original SE4 IIRC.

Nope that's true also.

Dan Morris and Bill Trotter are two good men on their staff that I know fairly well. Bill has been fair to us for quite awhile and Dan helped us get BCT in the mag.

I take it that posting the article is no longer necessary.

They also said a couple of things that make you wonder.

"...you can assign competent AI "ministers" to control..." LOL

"...the very strong enemy AI..." LOL
