I wonder if some big name publisher is secretly funneling him some encouragement and development cash so that the resulting Gamingverse flame wars and related drama will draw attention away from one of their own soon-to-be epic-launch-fails.

That is a VERY worthy theory. I like how you think  8)

The man reeks of narcissism. I saw him in person at E3 in 2003, and even today I still remember the smugness like a cloud around him. A smug-cloud that would put Peyton Manning to shame.

- And, unlike Smart, Manning has actually had a few games that were winners.

I've missed Derek. I hope this portends the return of Jim Rose, of SES fame, to the interwebs.

He's got a website called 'Smart Speak' (seriously!)

"A man may fight for many things. His country, his principles, his friends. The glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mud-wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sack of French porn."

This released yesterday. It is free to play, but you get essentially a demo. If you want the full game you have to pay. On the surface, it looks like a typical Derek Smart game...over ambitious. It comes space combat (looks like RTS) with squad based land combat on indoor and outdoor maps...there are air, land, naval and space vehicles.

I haven't actually played yet, but I have thumbed throne database of vehicles and equipment and looked through the menus. So far, it has a sharp presentation. We'll see if the gameplay holds up.

With a vengeance, indeed. This Steam review says it all

http://steamcommunity.com//id/smartbombradio/recommended/267220/

so it might well be worth playing on a Tablet, at a Tablet price.

PS: I had forgot about this review, one of the best ever
