Cinemaware Marquee Adds Darwinia To U.S. Retail
It seems like only the other day that we talked about Cinemaware Marquee as one of our alt.publishers to watch (they've signed interesting games including Space Rangers 2, yay), and now they're at it again, announcing Introversion Software's IGF Grand Prize winner Darwinia as signed for U.S./Canadian PC retail release this June.
Most interestingly, it's noted: "Darwinia will be available for $29.99 in June everywhere games are sold. As an added bonus, the game will include an exclusive poster and collectible figurine." Is the figurine going to be a Darwinian, and will it be cute? Inquiring minds want to know.
[Also, Introversion has a rather fun account of their IGF award experiences up on their official website, complete with a video from the Chronic Logic chaps of the fateful winning and swearing moment.]

Very good. It seems they have some actual gamers in the management, not just pure businessmen.
Btw guys, if you have any interest in strategy games at all, do not miss the Cinemaware-compilation called Buccanneer's Bounty. Patrician III is worth it alone - it's a stunning game in every way. Unique, deep and extremely engaging.

If they released Space Rangers 2 without Starforce, I'd totally buy it. As is, though, there's no way I'm installing that crap on my computer, regardless of how good the game it's "protecting" is.

Well, they will release a downloadable version without Starforce later, so you Starforce-haters will get to buy it. As long as "I'd buy it if it didn't have SF" is something you're not just saying... ;)
