What an awful name. I wonder if Petroglphy can respark their legacy they had. They've got the develops of the people who invented the RTS genre for christ sakes and they still haven't been able to make any game that hasn't suffered from EXTREME publisher abuse or failed from trying to chase the success of another game. I'm still sad how crappy Universe at War ended up being. The beta was awesome. Held so much promise, with issues that needed addressed with them actively responsding to feedback on the forums and such. Then the full game came out, and it was basically the beta. Never once got a patch for it, dead within a month. Apparently its because sega's publishing process pretty much made it so it took months for patches to come out so none never really came. Not to mention this was in the middle of the "PC games are dead" era when the 360/PS3 were still relatively new, so everything they did for that game had to be for the 360/PS3 as well. I just want them to bring back their former glory but so far since Petroglyph's been around they've produced nothing but duds, either due to publishers or because they were trying to chase a specific market. Its a far cry from what the company was back in the westwood days when they were pioneering a genre.
