If anyone wants a bargain I've noticed that GAME and Gamestation stores all over the place are selling 'Startopia' for only £4.99 instead of the usual £12.99.

It's a great game, so anyone who likes managment games should buy it as soon as possible.

Don't ask why it's so cheap because I don't know.

I once saw it for 99p in WHsmith, too.

I've got a copy of Startopia, I was given it for free a year or two back.

Its by Mucky Foot, who used to be part of the original BullFrog team, until sold up Molyneux and started LionFoot.

(They previously did that Urban Chaos title, which also pretty much sank without a trace?)

Its quite a lot of fun from what I remember, as long as you dont take it too seriously... reminded me a lot of Dungeon Keeper in space? ... quite short though?

It's a mangement game, where you manage a space station and have to cater for the needs or multiple species while trying to make a profit.

Or so I recall, having never played it.

It's a managment game in space where you have to build up different space stations. Think Theme park meets Star Wars. I think PC Gamer gave it 89%.
