So I downloaded this game last night...it's 110MB plus another 6MB for the latest update before you can play. Took about an hour on TSTT DSL.
Vendetta Online is one of those massively multiplayer games. It's a space simulator, and you earn your way along by belonging to one of three factions. You might make your living by freighting cargo, trading on your own, mining asteroids or even being a bounty hunter. The game is supposed to be largely unfinished as of yet, although IMO it's pretty solid and fun as it is, they'll just keep adding things in as time goes by.
Don't judge the game by X-Play's review, you know how they like to go overboard on the bashing. It may still be in the works, but it's still a blast. Maybe it's not a fast paced dogfighter - although you can get involved in dogifghts - but it sure is a lot of fun anyway.
The controls take getting used to with the keyboard, but they're not bad. Graphics seem nice, although I don't have a high end machine(you know how fast these things go outdated) so I'm running on defaults.
The bad news is that you only get an 8 hour trial - which I believe applies for 1 month. After that it costs $10 USD a month play. Personally, I'm on my 3rd hour of the trial and I may yet consider paying for a month or two in the holidays sometimes...it's a fun game.
Give it a whirl...it's a nice game, and even if it is only 8 hours...it only takes an hour to download and about 5 mins to download and install the update after if you're on DSL.
