I really dont get the pad/droid affair at the mo......the only games i play on mine for more than about 5 minutes are puzzle games, card games and word games...everything else would rather play on PC

That's because you dont have a surfacepro. Now, I play my favorite pc strategy games on my tablet.

It's from the scene where Danny is using the shining to communicate with  Dick Holloran to ask for help. Dick is back home in Miami watching the news about the coming snow storm  up north when he receives Danny's cry for help. The cinematography of the scene is very well done.

Hmmm...sounds like it might be Ace Patrol, but with a much more expanded world to play in.

Yeah, I was excited by the announcement...for about two seconds.  Immediately lost interest when I realized Sid wasn't going to (finally!) do a space 4x title. 

Sounds like it'll be sort of like Pirates! IN SPACE!  Which is fine if you like that sort of game, it's just not for me.
