Gah, now i want to play Nexus again.. curses!
It's available on Steam. My opinion on Steam is... I avoid it at all cost. It's available at a greater price on Amazon marketplace.
I wonder how it would run on Vista 64-bit on a 2560x1600 screen.
Cheers!
Hah, i own the original box version - in german 2 cds and all that, and i have a backup of those on my NAS and on a seperate DVD - i am already at M07 again (after the destruction of the raptor war station ,p) - Ah.. i forgot how addicting that game was... It has a semi non random dynamic campaign so if you mess up a secondary objective it changes the missions that come later, sometimes VERY drastically. I don't think its possible to win the game without at least winning some secondary objectives.. But to this day i have not seen all possibilities in the campaign - my perfectionist streak causes me to replay missions for 100%
However i don't think the game supports that res - i play on 1280x1024 with 8xAF and 16xAA (game looks stunning anyhow) ,p And it works fine in vista x64 - but what really sets it apart is how brutal the battles are - 4 on 4 ships sounds like a small engagement but its absolutely chaotic (as it should be ) when those ships circle each other and torpedo and missile attacks swirl about.
I don't think i should run a gaming blog - i am very sarcastic ^^
Nexus is a very micro management heavy game though

The Witcher is one of the few good RPGs out there, its Mature but the combat is finicky... played through it ,p Its pretty good, for 28$ its a definite must buy.. imo, if you like RPGs
.... Ah by the way, there are some mods for Nexus and some very good campaigns for it too, the game is fully moddable including new ships/campaigns/missions effects/weapons etc.
