Randorama spoke of one in his gaming journal (gamingjournals.com), which should probably be tomorrow or soon. The gist of it: 8/9 out of 10, great gameplay, not so great graphics.

He says at the end "tomorrow."

Do a search for "Gigawing Generations" here and look for the absurdly long thread. Opinions on the game vary a lot - Rob's one of the biggest fans. :wink:

I personally thought the game was a half-baked POS. Good ideas but the whole thing is crippled by hideous technical problems.

Your personal mileage may vary.

Only had it a couple of days, but so far I think it's pretty raging. It seems to be really deep and spiced with just the perfect amount of challenge. You know, not "bend ya' over a stump" hard, but it will still give you a nice workout. Yes, it's really ugly, and it's a shame, but screw it. We don't come here for the graphics now do we people?

Reviews are suspended until Malc gives me green light, in case anyone cares, i try to reivew a random game every week, but i was not referring to GWG for the review. This is the actual review.I would change a few things (i may when we'll finally upload it on the site), but i do agree with what i wrote (weird thing for myself).
"The only desire the Culture could not satisfy from within itself was one common to both the descendants of its original human stock and the machines [...]: the urge not to feel useless."
