Hah, found this. Interview with Frank Klepacki about the music. Sounds cool.

cw8: Is it me or is even the Codex's noticing the campaign's difficulty? My reaction's not as fast as it was back in the C&C days and I've been spoiled by the numerous turn-based games, not sure if I can handle the campaign on harder difficulties.
Is this game worthwhile if I only play the single player campaign mode?

You mean the RPG Codex? I noticed some comments about the brutal difficulty there.
Are they playing on normal though? I found Starcraft 2's campaign to be quite easy on normal, especially compared to SC 1

The dubstep part made me laugh. More so because he himself laughed when he mentioned it. :D

No idea, I haven't actually got the game. $50 on steam, I'll probably wait till $30? $50 on GOG, insta-buy.

Think they're playing on hard.

The game comes out as boxed version in Poland in 2 weeks. It can be found at around 22$ as a preorder. Good GOG, I'm being tempted! Please tell me you're talking with the Grey Goo's devs about releasing it here...

So we want a GOG version of Grey Goo to go with the grey site!

Look, I'm going to do my best to help you, okay? So you get less hyped. So, this is how the story goes:
I've done a routine pirate check that I do for any game I want to drop a considerable amount of money on. In other words, I have illegally downloaded the game to see if it works properly on my system and to play it a bit to see if I really do want to drop all that money on it. So, I've finished the first mission, uninstalled the game and deleted the DLed content.

What I got out of the experience was... Well... It's the next command and conquer we've all been waiting for, refined and redesigned in such a way that makes sense in modern RTS environment. Soundtrack is absolutely phenomental, cinematics are pretty much Blizzard-quality stuff, and the game just plays so well - unit AI is even clever enough to properly prioritize targets and everything. There are some mechanics I've not yet seen implemented in this manner in an RTS, and there are some refinments I want to see in every future RTS ever released. Oh, and the optimization is fantastic - it ran great on my 4 years old system, just loading screens took a bit too long. At the end of the day, the moment my paycheck arrives, I'm heading over to the dev's webpage and buying myself the game for 40 euro.

Oh wait, I'm doing the opposite of what I've promised! I'm so sorry!

Grey Goo: Grey GOG Edition? Wait, that subtitle is redundant.

Oh my! Literally I can't resist the temptation of buying it as a boxed copy, so not to support evil Steam. Argh, what are you doing to me! :-)

GOG, help!

Seriously tho, if you aim to avoid Steam, do check if the boxed copy is not just a Steam key.

On the other hand...

It may turn out that way. And steam preorders contained soundtrack as a goodie... But I want it on GOG with OST so badly I'm gonna explode! :-[

Can you tell me what your specs are? I'm a little bit worried, as CanYouRunIt site says that I won't be able to run it...
