Petroglyph Games
I've long been lamenting the loss of Westwood Studios, among many others, to the ravenous, amorphous cancer that is Electronic Arts, such as in this recent post. Well, as some of you are probably already aware, a lot of the old Westwood guys got together back in 2003 and started a new company called Petroglyph. One of their previous games was Universe at War, and before that Star Wars: Empire at War. They have several other games out and coming soon as well.
Here* is a preview of one of the games they're working on now. Granted, for me personally, the apparent MMO aspect of this is putting me off (there's one, and only one MMO that has my interest so far), but from what little I have seen of it, it does looks fairly interesting. And as far as I know, there haven't really been very many massively multiplayer online real-time strategy games as of yet (if any), at least not potentially big titles like this. Maybe this will be something worth checking out, after all.
