What do the Zenith aliens bring to sci-fi strategy gem AI War? (via Fidget)

Tom Chick today writes about the upcoming first expansion to AI War on the SyFy gaming blog, Fidget:  http://fidgit.com/archives/2009/12/what_do_the_zenith_aliens_brin.php

He seem to like it ...

For sure, Chick has been a great advocate of the game since he came across it and wrote about it for Crispy Gamer.  Was really a treat to get to talk with him as part of the Three Moves Ahead podcast I did a while back.

What an elaborate blog!  I totally understand why the Zenith were added in AI War!

It's really more of just a blurb, than anything else, and it is quite helpful in making a larger audience aware that the expansion even exists (which is the point of it).  A fairly significant amount of traffic off of that one small post...

Tom's an internationally known well established game critic, especially when strategy games come into it, you've got a major influential fan there I'd say.

[x4000]

Oh yeah, you are absolutely right.

Hm, I was hoping to see AI War in the Next Great Game God (GGTV?) which is basically a once-a-year indie game insight show.  It wasn't featured, but I hope the game will at least be mentioned during Spike's Video Gaming Awards!

I think we're not really all that known in those circles yet.  Hopefully we'll get some exposure with that sort of crowd through IGF for AI War, or through our other upcoming titles, and see some mentions next year.  We're well-known only in certain circles at the moment, and the Spike segment isn't one of them at the moment, sadly.

I was a bit disappointed not to see AI War mentioned in Tom's list of 10 games you didn't play, but should have on Fidgit - I mean he even listed Gratuitous Space Battles (grrr) - not that I've got anything against GSB, other than I think AI War deserves more attention

I have a LOT against GSB

EDIT: Just read the Article. The Path is awesome, by the way.

Well, yes, a shame AI War was not mentioned, but there have certainly been a ton of games out in the last year, and I imagine Tom was trying not to fill his entire list with strategy games.
