I beat Homeworld the other night. I was surprised. Not by the story, but by how good the Yes song at the end was. I mean "Homeworld" (the song) sounds like 1973 Yes and 1983 Yes got together and collaborated. I kinda gave up on them after Big Generator. And Tales from Topographic Oceans. And Tormato. And maybe Jon & Vangelis. But this brought me back in.

The game was very good as well. Nice blend of strategy and tactics. You can steal your enemies' ships (which is [a] totally cheap and [b] very effective). The plot involved a lot of "Initiating Hyperspace Jump"
"Hyperspace Travel interrupted. Destroy the enemy's hyperspace inhibitors to go to the next level".

I suppose that's kind of necessary; if you can go from point A to point B without stopping anywhere in between, why wouldn't you? If Mario had a hyperspace jump device that took him straight to Bowser in World 8-4, he'd take it. Save everyone some time. Anyhow, I enjoyed the game and the song.
