Let’s not mince words: Homeworld is a title that will terrify any gamer with an ounce of sensitivity. Real-time, ship-level, select-and-send strategy set in the open void of deep, alien, hostile, almost Lovecraftian space. The game even looks scary: One minute you’re focusing on a meaningless cluster of dots in the squinting, unimagineable starry distance....and the next minute, one radical, vertiginous zoom-in brings the ships so close up in your face that you can read the registration numbers imprinted on their scored, pitted hulls. Every Warcraft-fed bone in your body rebels and tells you the whole thing is sick and wrong....and yet, strangely compelling.
