To Be, Or Not to Be...

As a complete trekkie, (ok, I don't have a comm-badge and a Starfleet uniform....but it doesn't mean I'd refuse one ;)) I know my way around the galaxy of the Star Trek gaming world. As any of you who are also trekkies are aware, that is a pretty sad universe. We have been plagued by one horrendous title after another, all selling because of the Star Trek name. But there have been a few titles that caught my eye over the time, and this was one of them. While the game has been in production for around three years, the first time I became acquainted with it was last September, while cruising around some publishers web sites in search of what this years potential Star Trek titles were going to be.

Klingon Academy struck me from the very first. It was an interesting perspective. I still was not convinced, though. Looking more at it, it seemed sort of flat. Not to mention how much I disliked the thought of working *AGAINST* the Federation. It was not until I played Starfleet Command and saw a demo movie for Klingon Academy that I became convinced. At that moment, I knew I needed this game. As time went on, I forgot about it a bit, but continued to check up on its status. In February, a playable demo was released, so I immediately tried it out. At first, it seemed amazing, then as I played it a few times, I lost faith in the gameplay, in the graphics, and in pretty much everything about the game. It seemed "old", and "boring". I had to keep reminding myself that it was not a true demo, but more of a "beta demo" to test how things worked.

As time went by, I nearly decided for sure, that this game would not be worth my time. Until the day I heard about Game Commander being included. To make a long story short, Game Commander is *NOT* included in Klingon Academy (see my Game Commander review, if you're truly curious). That was a press release that was taken out of context by many a press outlet regarding a special version of the demo. At any rate, it re-kindled the fire of the game, and renewed my interest in it. So here I am. Let's see how it goes!
