Armies of Exigo – Warcraft Wannabe, or Warcraft Killer in Wannabe clothing?

As you may have already read, last week 12 members of the press were invited to the Redwood City offices of Electronic Arts to get a hands-on preview of their newest RTS effort: Axis of Exigo. I forged my credentials, as usual, but they didn't seem to notice. I had originally intended to show up dressed in floppy shoes and a nose that honked when you squeezed it, but decided against it after seeing the first screens from the game. Damn, that thing was pretty.
