GameAgent News Report
3 February 2003

The long-awaited PC strategy game "Master of Orion III" will not be appearing on store shelves February 25. Citing yesterday's loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia, MOO3 project leader Constantine Hantzopoulos said it would be "inappropriate... to release a game basically centering around blowing up spaceships... so soon after this tragedy." He stated that "we will now retool the game so that... it no longer involves exploding spaceships." Sources are unclear on what form this retooling might take, but information has leaked that it might involve purple dinosaurs facing polka dotted panda bears in a hugging match to control the galaxy. This, my friends, is a disaster for gamers everywhere...

I wonder how many dumbasses will jump on the band wagon to ban or hold off the release of MOO3.

LOL

And to the 20 people who have written "reviews" of MOO3 at Amazon.com, I have but one thing to say to you. "GET A LIFE!" How can you review a game BEFORE it is released? (Thats called a preview, and that would only occur if you had the fricking game!) So Get a life.
