I purchased colony and I think the game sucks. The controls are difficult to manage (you might get used to them given enough time). Anytime you come to something useful you enter a 2d point and click mode. IMHO, you should definitely stay away from this game. It's also slow. It is HD installable. If you want a good 3d game, take Infestation over Colony any day of the year. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Presley (UCLA CS Grad.
