Hi Kim,

Krush Kill N Destroy is a strategy wargame being released by Melbourne
House and Electronic Arts. It is set in a post apocolyptic era of 
devastation and mutant infested landscapes. It features awesome SVGA
graphics, fantastic gameplay and a playing interface that leaves the 
rest for dead. Here's what others have been saying about its pending 
release. Which buy the way is scheduled for late February.

Just in case you've been away......

PC Multimedia & Entertainment Magazine - 

"The real-time strategy game, developed by Australian Beam Software and
published by Electronic Arts, has been hailed as a potential "Red Alert 
killer"


Computer Games Strategy Plus Online  -

"I LOVE IT! Great game. The first "C&C clone" to surpass the original" 

"Gameplay is similar to that of Command & Conquer, although the graphics
are SVGA and the user interface more streamlined" 

Hyper@ctive - 

"The graphics are looking mighty fine at this stage. Units can actually 
walk under bridges, up hills and behind structures which adds scale. The 
640 x 480 resolution allows some of the most gorgeous detailing seen in 
a game of this type. The units are drawn extremely well and animated 
fluidly. The detail on your typical structure shows exactly what it's 
for, making the whole look of the game very intuitive."

"EA/Melbourne House's upcoming KKND combines gorgeous visuals with 
extreme playability  and intense strategy...could leave Red Alert as a 
coffee mug coaster.."  

"This is a game you will not be able to stop playing...one of the best 
resource strategy games we've played.. can't stop, must kill.."

Salvatore - 

"I have the demo of KKND, and I would have to say it is the best 
strategy game I have ever played. I think it blows Red Alert away by a 
long shot, and Warcraft too!"

PC GAMER - 90% - PC Gamer Game of Distinction Award!

"It's the comeback title from much missed publisher Melbourne House. And 
it's a shockingly good game!"

"KKND differs from Red Alert in hundreds of tiny, but delightful, ways"

"KKND is to Red Alert what Duke Nukem 3D is to Quake, a more than 
credible challenger to a set in stone classic bursting with ideas and 
features, many of which are so good you miss them when you go back to 
the established masterpiece...."

"the computer plays much more smartly"

"The sidebar is smaller and neater, the landscapes are more 
spectacularly drawn, the sound effects are much better and the mission 
briefings somehow manage to be genuinely funny"
