No kidding! Thanks for drawing my attention to this one. I've been sinking so
much time into Civ lately that I didn't even see it coming.

Looks like computer gaming is coming back to its roots. There's a Jagged
Alliance strategy game coming out too, and I'm told Frozen Synapse is not to be
missed. (http://www.frozensynapse.com/ if you have missed it)
