Indie developer Silverlode Interactive accosted me outside the press room at GDC to show me their new MMORTS (Massively Multiplayer Online Real-Time Strategy) game, SAGA. The game looks interesting enough, and given the fact that it's essentially free, it very well may be worth your time. I checked out the beta yesterday, and I have to say that I have no idea what I'm doing. There seemed to be plenty of people who did, however, so maybe I just missed something.
Either way, SAGA has just entered open beta for the public, so you can give the game a shot for yourself. Full press release can be viewed at the site, as well as screenshots and a trailer.
