QotW @ Gamespot

[davo]

This week's Gamespot "Question of the Week" asks its editors "Which strategy game are you most looking forward to this year?". Emperor does not get a lot of mentions in the editor's replies, but here is an interesting quote by Greg Kassavin:

"Emperor borrows from this movie's distinctive visual style--you can tell the designers at Westwood are real fans of the movie. In this sense, Emperor is a much better Dune game than Dune II was, as Dune II took a lot more liberties with the subject matter, whereas Emperor at least looks really consistent with the film. The game itself is fairly conventional when you get past the somewhat unconventional unit design, but if you're a Dune fan (or a Dune II fan), then you'll definitely want to check it out."

Also at the start of the feature is poll asking for what strategy game are you most looking forward in seeing, with both Emperor and Dune Generations listed as answers.
