My thoughts on Master Of Orion…

As someone that is a HUGE fan of both MOO I and MOO II, when I heard WG had purchased the rights to Master Of Orion I was excited to see what they did with it. As a long time player of Master Of Orion II (I still play it), all I really wanted was a few new bits, a clean interface and upgraded graphics, music and sound. This has mostly been achieved in the newly released Master Of Orion Conquer The Stars!

Blurb from the dev page…

The ascendant spacefaring 4X strategy game returns! A new chapter in the epic Master of Orion saga is poised to once again capture the imaginations of millions of gamers.
