<a href="http://www.pocketmatrix.com/reviews/argentum/">http://www.pocketmatrix.com/reviews/argentum/</a><br /><br />The review starts off with a pretty bold statement. "Argentum (Ag). It's more than a game. It's more than an RTS game. It's more than a Pocket PC game. It is, I would argue, the first commercial grade entertainment title for the Pocket PC."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/argentum_1.gif" /><br /><br />You can <a href="http://www.ionside.com/downloads/">download the demo here.</a> Thanks for all that sent in the links on this, and I am sorry Andy didn't get to it sooner. ;-) <i>(Just kidding Andy)</i>

If you have not downloaded this already what in the world are you waiting for!? Not only can you genuinely ask "Can your Palm do that?" but you can have a game that's a blast to play and is head and sholders above any and i do mean any game out their. Congrats to Carpe, Malmer and and Monkeystone! :D

yikes - 8.5MB of program RAM to run? This will really crimp 32MB devices.

naw I am running it on my Maestro no problem just plan ahead and put as many progs and files on an SD/MMC card,(leaving cf open for peripherals) and there will be no problems! :D

Yup I can see many an hour/commute lost in the fog of playing this game. Hope I don't miss my subway stop too often :wink: I've been playing the demo and it soooo reminds me of Starcraft. I don't remember how afternoons ran into early morning playing that game, but I think this game is a winner!

I have to agree, this game rocks!

I will buy this (if I still have my iPAQ) when it comes out, it is an excellent game!
The only problems with it are these:
1. Missing my station on the way to work if my wife isn't there to remind me.
2. Getting pissed off because I lost & breaking my iPAQ!

There are the usual AI issues, but they were in StarCraft so I can't complain.

If you like StarCraft or similar games you have to get this game!

I finally got a version that would load of my 3835, and yeah, this is quite awesome. Finally, a game for the pocket pc that's worth the money. er will be worth the money when the full version comes out.

I can honestly say that I have played the Argentum demo more than any other Pocket PC game! :D Congrats to the developers. The game has a very intuitive interface, great graphics, and an interesting story line.

Now the next question....when and how much for the full version?
