I'm really glad the game made the best seller list! I, for one, have really enjoyed trying different strategies and figuring out different ways to win. I think I've put in maybe 10 hours playing so far... which is alot for me.
It really is a very fun (and challenging) game. However, it's very different from Harbinger. I personally like this game more than harbinger, but then, I really like strategy games. I always wished harbinger would let you capture sectors and build bases etc. In that sense, this game is kind of what I have always been hoping for. Although there are some detractors of the game, I suspect there are just as many users like me (if not alot more).
