Raven Software's John Scott updated his .plan file with two notes on video cards supported by the 'Voyager: Elite Force' demo. Matrox G200s will apparently run, unlike what it says in the demo's readme, while five other video cards will give some problems.
And Kenn Hoekstra updated his .plan with a workaround to an install problem some people have been encountering. He also provides a few interesting notes on the voice acting in the demo.
'Elite Force' is mentioned in the new edition of online cartoon Penny Arcade.
AP Business Writer Gary Gentile has written a long article on how today's games are beginning to take as much work as any Hollywood epic, using 'Voyager: Elite Force' as an example of a game for which much effort was spent on things like voice acting.
The demo is reviewed by Paul 'Rush' Younger at Gamerush, who says that Raven "could well be onto a winner" with the game.
Also new is this review at Riva 3D, who hail it as being the first game to break the Star Trek curse.
Finally, two German reviews are up at GamingMag.de and ComputerBase.de.
Getting a bit lost in the onslaught of new 'Elite Force' articles, there's a new interview with 'Starfleet Command II' designer Joshua Morris on the Gamer's Pulse.
Thanks go out to Blue's News and Jeff 'Koganuts' Koga for some of these items!
