Gamermom Watch: Darwinia
Our family is tracking Darwinia, and anxiously awaiting the game on the Steam Network. It comes out December 14th – Steam allows us to purchase it now, download it and be all set to go on the 14th when it is released.
Now, this is a good thing if you have a family of excited little fellas who will want to stay up late on a school night to see the game in action. Steam’s distribution model saves us time – no trips to Fry’s, no downloading of updates after install, etc. As I recall, Venvendi (who sees to it that Fry’s get’s their copies) still got their cut of the first Steam distributed game – Half Life 2.
Early movies of Darwinia are reminiscent of Pikmin – a game we loved. We’ll post a review after we’ve played.
Comment by Corvus
It’s paced very differently than Pikmin and there’s no real central avatar, but I bet you’ll all enjoy it!
