I saw Empires at War. I hope it is much better than SW Galaxies and you do not have to live on the PC to get learn how everything works?

Not even the same genre of game, Jack...

It is a remake of Star Wars Rebellion.   It's.. entertaining..but more of a cross between Starcraft & Command & Conquer.

That's hardly true at all, and definitely not a fair comparison.  Rebellion was almost card based. This is an RTS with a turn based strategic element.

Yeah, it's a lot more 'twitchy' and RTS like than Rebellion, which seemed almost turn-based due to it's slower pace.

Honestly, I liked Rebellion better.  Bigger galaxy, lots of ships, lots of heros, etc.  It had it's problems, I know...I wish they'd do a bona fide remake of it.

Thus the Command & Conquer part.   ;D
