GREAT!!! That's how I started with SE3. It should bring in some more new blood.

Re: CONGRATULATIONS MM and SHRAPNEL!!
Sorry, I've been off the board rebuilding my Win2k system. I'll get my scanner installed tomorrow and up a scan of the article (it's only 1 page).

Re: CONGRATULATIONS MM and SHRAPNEL!!
Read the review. Looks good. A full page. Balanced, fair review. I think the author liked it even more than the rating it got, but those are geared more towards the typical gamer I think.
Still waiting for the first mention of PBW in one of these reviews. Ah well...

Re: CONGRATULATIONS MM and SHRAPNEL!!
Not surprising. The editors usually tweak down the scores on non mainstream games, and I venture that this was brought down due to it being a Gold Version and that there is a LOT of competition for the awards this month.
Plus we don't advertise with them  .
We had another game that got dropped barely below 90 because of the same issue a few years back.

Re: CONGRATULATIONS MM and SHRAPNEL!!
Actually, from what the article said, they typically don't even review Gold Versions. But this one was good enough to deserve a review in their minds. And it said the Gold Version got a higher rating than the original SE4 IIRC.

Re: CONGRATULATIONS MM and SHRAPNEL!!
Nope that's true also.
Dan Morris and Bill Trotter are two good men on their staff that I know fairly well. Bill has been fair to us for quite awhile and Dan helped us get BCT in the mag.

Re: CONGRATULATIONS MM and SHRAPNEL!!
I take it that posting the article is no longer necessary.
They also said a couple of things that make you wonder.
"...you can assign competent AI "ministers" to control..." LOL
"...the very strong enemy AI..." LOL
