Feeling an urge to play a space-themed MMO after watching J.J. Abrams' incredible "Star Trek?" Why don't you give "Cosmic Supremacy" a try. (Forgive the cheese, but the release schedule of the two pieces of media remains a little too close to be a coincidence.)
Formerly known as "Space Civilizations," "Cosmic Supremacy" is a turn-based multiplayer strategy game where players command their own civilization and are tasked with exploring the surrounding galaxy, discovering new solar systems, colonizing other planets, and essentially being a groovy dude. Of particular interest to nerds like me who love to personalize every aspect of a game, players can customize every ship in their fleet.
I hate copying and pasting an entire paragraph of a press release into one of these news announcements, but there's something you need to read...
"As a game in the 4X genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate), 'Cosmic Supremacy' draws inspiration from the hundreds of browser-based games out there, but we did not want to add yet another one - instead we took the basic idea to the next level; the Fifth X: eXperience. 'Cosmic Supremacy' is played with a very slim downloadable client allowing features that other games can only dream of. We left the shortcomings of existing games behind and designed 'Cosmic Supremacy' from the ground up to be the best game in its class."
See that? That's just a small snippet of the PR bologna we have to put up with each and every day. Ugh.
Anyway, if you decide to give this new space MMO a shot, feel free to write your thoughts in the comments section below.
