Not for a second do i think HOE is a better game - but i do think it will be marketed far better the BOP.

If 1C have even a single brain between themselves they will make sure BOP is released FIRST. This game is pretty much garunteed to get great reviews - that will generate a lot of interest. But let me reiterate, it HAS to be the first to hit the shelves. (more to the point, there is no excuse for it not being first, it has been finished for a long time).

Well, instead of banging the drum for war bonds, we can choose to bang the drum for BoP.

While I do agree marketing is an important facet to attracting potential customers, I also feel the gaming community is highly connected to word-of-mouth marketing.

In my mind, a number of strong reviews at launch (say BoP is rated 9 out of 10 and HoE is rated 7 out of 10 on numerous gaming sites) and a "buzz" within the community will propel this game more than a commercial, radio spot, or print piece ever could.

Just my two cents.
