I am a huge 4x space gamer!
Upon release MOO3 was such a let down both financially and spiritually for the whole genre. ( although I hear now that the mod community has taken up the slack and patched and modded the game enough to make it actually play decently, it's worth rechecking I guess. )
Anyway, after MOO3 failed there was an independent title release called Galactic Civilizations and it was a a shot in the arm for us 4x gamers even though it wasn't spectacular or earthshattering.
Lo and behold here comes it's bigger, badder, ( better? ) brother Galactic Civilizations II.

It is poised to take it's place as the premier game for 4x'ers and with a launch price of under $40 it already has my support.
Do yourselves a favor and look seriously at this game if you are a fan of the genre.
