<offtopic>I-War</offtopic>

FYI although a little off topic this is of general space gaming interest
I have just read a good review of the game I-War for budding
space captains. 

In brief it gives you a fully modelled 3D ship to command
with a realistic space flight model to die for and it
runs a a PC with last years specification.

I know what I want for my birthday.
