Awaiting Neverwinter Nights, I have discovered a gem....

Homeworld


This game is beautiful and one of the few games I actually seem relatively competent in.

I'd bought it quite a while ago now and simply forgotten about it until now but I am glad that boredom drove me to pick it up again.

The gameplay is excellent, the controls pretty intuitive, the music sublime and a great storyline.

I'm really enjoying it so far and recommend it to anyone to have a go, it should be pretty cheap by now; I saw it go for £9 the other day so, if you're bored, go pick up a copy

I concur. Homeworld is one of the best, prettiest RTS's I've ever played, and unlike a lot of RTS's it has excellent music and a rich plot to boot.

The expansion is a must, btw.

In the gardens of kadesh, the enemy will send a variation of the ion frigate at you.

BE SURE to build six...uhm...ship stealing frigates...I forget what they're called...and steal three of them.

Two reasons: They're more mobile, and a touch more powerful than the ion frigates you can build, and if you don't capture them, they'll rip you a new one.

salvage corvettes, and ship stealing is my favorite tactic of the whole game

[edit] and its funny as hell when you have a cloak field and a whole fleet of salvage corvettes

I got the demo off a PC Gamer CD (yes I know, cheap bum) and when in the opening sequence I heard Adagio for Strings, all was good.

Homeworld is a a game that will never get old. They did a fantastic job on it.

The addon pack is very good as well.

GOD DAMN YOU ALL!

Khyron weeps and goes to re-install it on his PC.

Actually, I love this game too, it just got so hard, I stopped playing due to frustration.
