The Game: "Earth has been destroyed. Humans,
machines
and monsters fight over what's left"


CERES is a game for those that wanted to push Homeworld, Elite or Nexus: The Jupiter Incident just a little further, by controlling a battle squadron in cyberspace as you hack, battle and barter your way into enemy ships. After all, you must do what you can to survive a post-apocalyptic monster-infested solar system.


Help us celebrate the release of CERES, and win a prize of galactic proportions.

"It's pretty orange!" No, I'd probably say offer a continuation to Armstrong's first words on the Moon and say something along the lines of "Mankind continues to leap to extraordinary lengths, and never shall we stop." Twitter.com

So... if we trend you with free advertisement you will reward a handful of people? Wouldn't it be more interesting to link an analytics then, to see the propagation of the tag, given that's the real point here?
