I’m not sure how many people are interested, but it looks like those wishing to lead a Federation Starship or Klingon Battlecruiser don’t need an Alienware superduper glowing computer of death to play Star Trek Online. Those with a fairly modern graphics card and 1GB of RAM will be able to enjoy this game.

A great move by Atari and Cryptic, as that is part of what makes WoW so successful. Even with Wrath of the Lich King, my Acer Aspire One Netbook is capable of running WoW flawlessly with the graphics set to minimum. Stormwind gets a little laggy, if it’s heavily populated, but other than that it’s quite nice. I preordered my collector’s edition (thanks for the heads up, GV) last week. Once the open beta starts on the 12th, I will try this on my Netbook as well and report back on my progress. The need for a core duo may stifle that, however.

Anyone else planning on getting this game? I would love to explore strange new worlds with the GV crew.

Unrelated: Some stuff I’m working on. I’ll have a review of Tools of Destruction soon (even though it’s a 2007 game). I’ll also have impressions of the Bayonetta Demo and Dante’s Inferno demo later today. I’m playing Size Matters, another “ancient” Ratchet and Clank game, and will have a review of that as well.
