Back in the Day I was I HUGE Moo2 (Masters of Orion) fan, heck I still have the game installed on my gaming box and laptop.  So a few years back I bought GC when it first came out, the reviews and hip looked great.  When I got it installed  and started playing I was disappointed.  Guess deep inside I was hoping for the good M003 that I ever got. (yes I know a Moo3 came out but it was no where as good as Moo2)

So a while back I picked up the GC2 Dread Lords in the bargain bin and was going to give it another try.  I have played it a few hours over the last week and just can’t sink my teeth in to what I don’t like about it.  The interface is better in this version over the original GC2 even the some of the game play.  But the combat is boring, the tech tree is stretched just to be lengthened. 

So it has been put back on the shelf to collect dust.
