Privateer And Wing Commander Creator Is Back At It With Star Citizen
Wait, what? You mean…More space sim? SIGN ME UP!!! SRSLY!!!
When I read that Chris Roberts, the guy who created Privateer and Wing Commander, was back in the land of the living and creating another space sim style game…Well, to put it mildly I pissed myself.

And I loved them.
Divine Space Is Half A Step Away From A Galactic MMO
Spaceships and space? I’m in.
Russian-bourne Dodo Games is trying to raise a hundred thousand dollars to bring a space-based RPG to life. This is right up my alley and few are done right.

Michelle “Esper” Roberson and Nicole “Daze” Cullop are the newest additions to the team. “We are thrilled for the new girls to be part of the Frag Doll team,” says Ellen Lee, promotions manager, Ubisoft. “Selecting the two new Frag Dolls wasn’t easy.
