    Who cast in nurse Ratched to do the voice over?

    Seems to be from quite an old build. The beta doesn't have a tutorial (only a sandbox mode) but it kicks ass overall, it has its performance quirks though but there's so much to this game that you want more.

    What an absolutely boring voiceover. It's more tedious than those science for schools programs we had to endure as kids during the seventies and eighties.

    Blah blah blah. Talk about making a game that looks the bollocks in screenshots, sound as much fun as stapling your nose to a text book.

    Is this video meant to be some kind of dictation for the chap responsible for making the manual? Because it's surely of no use to anyone with a fucking life. If you watched the entire thing from start to finish, then this game surely isn't for you.

    Heads up display HUD is a bit cluttered.

    Anyone on the beta care to tell me its adjustable, I like a nice clean heads up display HUD.

    I suppose I could live with it ISICLWI.

    @WrongShui: it's in beta alright, with a simple keytab you can switch the interface to your right/left or let it disappear completely. On higher resolutions the size of it isn't that disturbing. If you still don't like it... just mod it because that should be possible too in the final version.

    @Collie: seriously, watch this instead, the beta really offers the opportunity to relive that whole battle in full glory and with even more wacko expiremental units. Building up your base/economy might seem a bit boring but is a challenge in itself with all the possible link-combo's and defensive possibilities.

    Obviously I've watched that trailer before as I've made 2 comments about it already. The game looks amazing, but having the most boring woman on Earth prattle on about every little detail in the most non-interesting manner possible is a life-draining excerise. Life is way too short to watch those videos through to the end.

    Next it'll be some geek discussing the interface and the pros and cons of every single tactical possibility in Football Manager 2007. That should only take about 6 years of your life by which point the world around you will have changed beyond all recognition: football is outlawed, Apes rule the Earth and you've died from a blood clot.
