What is <a href="http://www.codemasters.com/maelstrom/">Maelstorm: The Battle For Earth Begins</a>? Basically, it's a RTS post apoc, 2 human sides (military and religious nuts), and some genocidal alien race. The environments look rather nice too, lots of burnt out buildings.

It has genre-redefining RTS gameplay featuring deformable and destructible landscapes, 3 unique races to choose from for a high level of tactical options, a gripping storyline from respected SF writer <a href="http://hometown.aol.co.uk/redwingprojec ... htm">James Swallow</a>, known for writing two episodes of Star Trek: Voyager as well as a score of tie-in novels, and a cutting-edge graphics engine bringing combat to life like never before.

The developers of Maelstorm: The Battle For Earth Begins are world-reknown Russian game developing company called <a href="http://www.kdvgames.com/">KD Vision Games</a>, with such hits behind their belt as <a href="http://www.codemasters.co.uk/perimeter/">Perimeter</a>, <a href="http://www.kdlab.com/vangers/eng/">Vangers</a>, <a href="http://www.kdlab.com/products/product_v ... mogonki</a>, <a href="http://www.kdlab.com/products/product_v ... 23">Bratja Piloti 3D</a>, <a href="http://www.kdlab.org/products/product_v ... 26">Bratja Piloti 3D-2: Tayni Kluba Sobakovodov</a>, and <a href="http://www.kdlab.com/products/product_v ... 17">Krugly Schot</a>.

Keep your eyes peeled for this one, gentlemen! Thanks a bunch to Stainless for the heads-up, you're a real champ!

They boast, of this !?

Nonetheless, Vangers was cackle worthy daft. Quite the achievement. Will keep a lazy pair of eyes on this, though they may well wander.

Spelling incorrect, world crashing down, Codemasters losing money on people asking for a MAELSTORM box instead of MAELSTROM...
