Hee! I've seen that review, I've been watching zero punctuation for a long while now. I also follow ENN & Extra Credits too.

The important question is - Does it allow you to safely exercise your planet-destroying impulses thus preventing you from destroying the actual planet? Or does it teach you that planet destruction is actually awesome and that you should clearly do it in real life?

Yes I paid the $20. It is not free to play. I figured I'd paid a lot more than that for games with *vastly* lower replay potential.
