While those of us in the United States were celebrating the founding of our country with BBQs and explosives, the rest of the world was given the gift of Endless Space.

The easiest way to explain my early impressions of it are this: think Sid Meier’s Civilization in space, except with even more depth!

Here is the release trailer for the game, and you can look forward to our review of Endless Space next week!
