Battlestar Galactica Hits PC, XBLA Next Week
Priced at $19.99, the PC version will be downloadable from what publisher Sierra refers to as the "top online gaming portals" beginning Tuesday, October 23. The Xbox 360 edition will appear in the online Xbox Live Marketplace the following day, Wednesday, October 24, at 800 Microsoft Points ($10).
Despite the title's 3D appearance, its space combat occurs on a 2D plane, similar to Gaia Industries' Wing Commander Arena (X360). Though Wing Commander Arena was not particularly well-received and the two games share some similar mechanics, many Battlestar faithful still cling to the hope of defeating the Cylons an enjoyable experience.
Then again, Auron's effort isn't the only game out there. There is always that fan-created Battlestar Galactica FreeSpace 2 mod, which is conveniently hosted on FileShack. At the very least, with two interactive Battlestar titles out there, that increases the chances of a quality BSG game. So say we all.

Err, why does the PC version cost twice as much?
