Okay, hands up who wants a war? Those waving their mitts in the air should head to Codemasters' official Maelstrom site, where a pre-beta demo of 'frantic, destructive' sci-fi RTS Maelstrom sits waiting your pleasure in the 'Downloads' section.
The game releases exclusively for PC in October and is the result of a collaboration between the Brit compnay and Russian studio KDV Games (of Perimeter fame). It's being touted as the "most frantic, destructive, action-packed RTS game yet", and revolves around a three-way struggle for supremacy on a world ravaged by ecological disaster.
The demo features two missions - one playing as the technologically superior Ascension forces, who clone super-soldiers armed with transforming weaponry, and another featuring the invading alien forces Hai-Genti, who are using their malicious ways to nail a human Remnants base.
So, if all that tickles your fancy, you know exactly where to head. You can also peruse five screens from the demo missions right here.
