A-hem. You rang?

Yes, I-War 2 is a very, very sweet game (as was the original Independence War, which sadly is hard to find these days). As for the learning curve, it is rather steep, but it's more getting used to the Newtonian Flight model than anything else, in my opinion. Once you're there, it's a wonderful thing. It's like playing a game of SEIV without ministers for the first time. Well, sort of. Hard to compare actually, shouldn't have bothered.

The I-War community is also quite excellent, and the modding community is rapidly growing since the game is extremely easy to mod (well, in some aspects). Also, the game developers take special interest in their product. Already one of the fellows on the dev team has churned out several player-requested unofficial mods (unofficial merely in that they are not supported by Particle Systems, not that it really matters much, since they work).

Anyway, I highly recommend I-War 2: EoC. And if you get the chance, stop by the Infogrames North America Independence War Boards.

A few helpful websites:
www.i-war2.com Fansite: lots of links and mods
www.independencewar.com Official site, official stuff
INA Forums

Hope to see those who are interested!

Picked up return to castle woflenstein.

It took two days for the pain in my left hand to go away. Not use to the shoot them up games.

But I think I have the hang of it now. The AI is really good in it. I think I will finish the game and give it to my 8 year old nephew as a gift.

I have completed 10 missions now. Sounds are good and the picture is quite nice. But it is a game I could not play all the time. I think it would get boring.

Matrix games has several new games coming out, one Napoleon at Australitz looks similiar to Shogun looks like it might be good, game comes out supposedly Dec 19th. They also have space game coming out, again don't know how good, you might want to look at their site www.matrixgames.com

Just finished Wolf.

Over all the game was ok.

Good AI

Sounds fantastic.

I am now packing it up and adding it to the christmas presents I am giving to my nephew. (I already told him that I would give it to him when I was finished.)

Good game for an eight year old.

Mac I have all 4 Steel Panther games. I purchase the first 3 over the years. ( I think I have 2 copies of the first two games ) and the 4th game is free from Matrix. I am a collector of computer war games. I like the manuals and maps.

You should check it out. I highly recommend reading the manual. The game can be quite difficult. If you ever start playing it and enjoy it. Perhaps we can play a game or two.

I just downloaded Pacific war.
