    <strong>[ Announcement ]</strong>

    <p>Turn-based sci-fi strategy title <a href="http://www.galacticassault.com/" target="_blank">Galactic Assault: Prisoner of Power</a> is now ready for your grubby little hands in stores or on <a href="http://www.gamersgate.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=205&category_id=8&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=14&vmcchk=1" target="_blank">Gamer's Gate</a>.</p><blockquote><p>New York, USA (September 12, 2007) &ndash; Global publisher Paradox Interactive announced today that their explosive Sci-Fi strategy title Galactic Assault: Prisoner of Power is available in stores across North America and via digital download on GamersGate. </p><p>"We are thrilled about the release of Galactic Assault: Prisoner of Power", said Fredrik Wester, Executive Vice President for Paradox Interactive. "This is a high quality wargame that we've all spent a lot of time with and its bound to appeal to wargamers as well as strategy fans looking for a new challenge in a completely different setting"</p></blockquote><p>To find out what some folks are saying about it, read this <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/galacticassault/news.html?sid=6178491&om_act=convert&om_clk=multimodule&tag=multimodule;picks;title;1" target="_blank">hands-on preview</a> at Gamespot or Out of Eight's full <a href="http://jaguarusf.blogspot.com/2007/09/galactic-assault-prisoner-of-power.html" target="_blank">review</a> (6/8).</p><blockquote><p>Veteran wargamers will have a grand time with Galactic Assault, but beginning players who aren't accustomed to the gameplay mechanics of Massive Assault will feel lost and overwhelmed by the high difficulty and level of planning required in order to be successful. There are a lot of things in Galactic Assault that I like: the units, the base building, the amount of content, the morale model, the non-stackable units, and the general gameplay are all fine and dandy. But the game is really difficult and slow, two things that won&rsquo;t appeal to a large audience. I much prefer Galactic Assault to Massive Assault and it does a lot of things well and more often than not I am having fun playing the game, but then I encounter an unfair or overly difficult scenario that causes me to quite playing. There is nothing wrong with a challenging game, but it should be challenging on &ldquo;hard&rdquo; settings, not on all settings. Ultimately, Galactic Assault is a high-quality wargame that will appeal to wargamers, but not many other people.
