That's a lot to live up to, but Ion Storm constantly cranked the hype machine to 11. Dominion, on the other hand, seemed a bit out of place, more a way to gently steer the real-time gamers into the Ion Storm fold. Well, surprise, surprise. First out of the gate is the RTS game nobody expected.

No, not in its current form. But the premise and gameplay, while solid and entertaining, are nowhere near as revolutionary as Ion Storm is supposed to be. Thing is, each wants it for their own people. That means war. Our players are the humans, the robotic Scorps, reptilian Darkens and the ruthless Mercs.
