I had no idea this was being made. We used to play this table-top game along with Warhammer, Axis & Allies, Talisman, etc. In VG form, it reminds me a bit of EA's Mutant League series I so wish would make a comeback. It seems to have a Spring or Summer 2009 release.

Teaser:

Awesome that it also has traditional turn-based mode as well. This should be fun.

I have never played the tabletop version but this is very interesting to me. I was excited to see they will include a turn based mode since it worries me when they take the slower pace of a board game turn (that requires thought and strategy) and reduce it to who can churn out the zerglings the quickest.

Hi!

I'm at work and can't access the links, can someone tell me what platforms this is coming out for?

PC, PSP, Xbox Live, and Nintendo DS.

No PS3 ?! I guess I'll have to buy it for PC, I hope the graphics requirements aren't crazy or they change their minds and release it in some way for PS3.

They've said that since they're a small company with no PS3 experience, it was too risky to develop it for that platform at this time. If the other versions do well enough, they'll look at expanding.

I don't know a lot about next-gen game engines, but it seems like it would be harder to port after-the-fact than develop simultaneously.

Also, I don't expect this to do well enough to make a PS3 version a reality based on what they've said.

That trailer has me sold on the DS version.

Looks interesting. I might pick it up on Xbox Live if the price is right.

"Xbox Live" does not necessarily mean XBLA. I imagine this will be a retail disc.
