DarkStar One is gold
Kalypso's upcoming space sim DarkStar One: Broken Alliance has gone hold and will be warping into American retail on July 20th. The game mixes elements of traditional space combat titles with RPG mechanics, letting you choose missions and upgrade your ship while exploring a massive galaxy. Kalypso was kind enough to send us a review copy and I've been pretty impressed with the game so far. This is definitely one to keep an eye on.
