Master of Orion III is OUT. Wow. That has certainly been a long haul. Hope it’s worth it (it has been SEVEN YEARS since the last MOO). Anyway, if you aren’t familiar with MOO here is what it is all about:

“Space is big. Really big.” So begins The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. But like the void of space, there is a void in strategic space games. None have provided the bigness, that focus on the highest levels of grand strategy, that science-fiction epics in print, film, and television have long delivered. So, to the traditional “4-X” strategy game of eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate, we are adding an important new fifth “X,” eXperience. (Yep, it’s a 5-X game!) Through game devices adding character, story, and plot to familiar strategy play mechanics, MOO3 will deliver the grandeur and richness of an epic space opera — not in the guise of a traditional book, movie, or TV show, but presented in the medium of a game experience.
