Weird Worlds:Return to Infinite Space

Kieron Gillen, who in my mind is the most interesting writer in gaming today...

Let me explain that a bit. "Gaming journalism" largely consists of gamers who write about games. Kieron Gillen is a damned good writer who just happens to be a gamer. If he didn't, he'd be a damned good writer writing about something else.

And if you want to see what he's written, just head over to www.eurogamer.net and search on his name. He also has a work blog over at www.kierongillen.com, and he recently contributed to a top-fifty albums of the year article over at New Noise
(http://www.new-noise.net/us_242.html). He only has a small piece of that top-fifty article, but if you like music, it's a very funny read.

What the hell was I talking about? Oh, yes--Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space. Gillen is raving about it (see his review here http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=62260), and when he raves about something it's worth checking out. Here's a link to the game page over at Shrapnel (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/digital_eel/weird_worlds/1.htm) and there's a demo available as well.

Guitar Hero and the post-holiday death march is taking up all my time right now, but this is the next game I'll be playing.
