The new game from Introversion software (Darwinia, Uplink). It's a computer game version of thermonuclear war, and looks amazing. My favourite part of the interview:

b]Eurogamer:[/b] Care to give an example of the sort of Machiavellian disasters we can see?

Chris Delay: We've seen alliance members shooting overhead friendly planes down because they believed the planes were scouting the area for targets in preparation for a strike. This results in arguments in the chat channels, followed by skirmishes at sea, followed by retaliation, before finally the whole alliance collapses and everyone starts nuking the hell out of each other. It's awesome.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

That reminds me, is Darwinia available in retail now? I haven't seen anything for it. I absolutely loved Uplink.

I know you can buy Darwinia over Steam.  I haven't seen it in stores.

I just submitted a review of darwinia :P

It's over steam. You could also order it over the net. It was briefly in stores here in the UK.
