"Genocide'em up"... ?

I gotta admit, playing this game is a very sobering experience. In one hand, it seems very detached from what's happening, you're watching little green and red missiles arcing across the Atlantic (or Pacific, or both), there's flashes of light and the words "XXX hit - Y million dead." flash up from time to time.
Yet...it's also a very deep game, the music, it seeps into your head, and as the world is slowly destroyed, the music gets very sombre, and yet soothing. The rumbles of nuclear impacts and the occasional coughing in the background serve also to make you think about the poor sods on the ground. When I play against the AI (have yet to do an online on the demo) there's a lot of forethought into where to place your assets, what to attack...where to attack from.

All this for under 100meg? And for a tenner?

Count me in.
