Hmm, got to say the trailer is pretty good (loved that 'command fleets' part where a few ships pass by with SW engine sounds ) but the space fights still seem to be a bit un-space-fight-ish But perhaps I'm just looking for something that isn't right in this SW strategy game. Or maybe I'm just spoiled We'll see what EaW is like when (if?) the demo is released.
And as for Spore, question 2:
Are there any benifits to discovering alien civilizations? Trading? Enslaving? Interplanetary Olympics? Or is it just to see what kind of people others have? Wow... I'm really looking forward to this game
Edit:
Was reading the IGN preview ( here) and when I read
I thought 'Can a game get any better?'

Hehe, great link that! Everybody should read it if they have the time.
That's just awesome.
@ Dark Archer: yeah, iirc you can learn/copy buildings/vehicles/designs from other civilizations...that is, if you don't choose to obliterate their homes.
Let's hope they can make the ambitious expectations reality! Don't want another STALKER.

Erh..nothing that I know of, that's the point. I just mean that it was also pretty ambitious in terms of AI and world, but just kept getting postponed. I think we're over 2 years later than when it was first announced.
It's scheduled for this winter IIRC.

speaking of postponed...the star wars thing was supposed to be november 11th. Now it's Feb 2006. Damnit. There's a serious drought of good games. About the only thing I really want to pick up is Battlefield 2.

Looks more like a <insert next-gen game with amazing graphics that almost make you cry here>-engine. Can we borrow it for NWN? Might start playing it again then

Yeah, as usual we'll have to wait for Christmas before the big guns get drawn.

Check out some screens from The Witcher...it's hard to believe they're building this game on the NWN engine.

Just noticed I've already downloaded it , long live Xfire. D/ls all new demos of the genre's I'm interested in and keeps track of friends playing games and your gaming history[/rant]. Get it here.
Oh, and curse you all for bringing Spore to my attention, every time I start a game I think I'd rather start Spore

That xfire thing sounds interesting...but it looks like I have to create an account or something, pff. And you might be in for a loooong wait DA, because Spore doesn't even have a set release date yet.

It's kind of useful, you can pick automatic download channels so it will download every new FPS/RTS/RPG etc. demo they've got, but tbh I never would've used it if it wasn't used by a lot of ppl I know.
And as for the Spore thing: I was afraid that might be the case Couldn't find anything new on the (bookmarked) Spore website. Gah

Don't despair DA, it's gonna happen eventually. Then again, Duke Nukem 3D was also gonna happen eventually but we all know that it's an urban myth.
Erh...anyway, Arkane Studios have just announced their newest game; a fantasy 1st person RPG based on the HOMM (Heroes of Might & Magic universe), which will use the Source engine. It's going to be called Dark Messiah. On itself not thoroughly exciting news, but you should know that Arkane developed the brilliant Arx Fatalis. It's too bad that it's not Arx II but meh, I have faith. Screens are expected to be available next week.
Also, if you're interested and fall under these criteria:
The English translation left out the "débutants acceptés", i.e. debutants are welcomed. That sucks...now I wish I'd spent some more time messing around in Hammer. Like, an entire year.
