For those of you interested in the new Star Wars RTS the demo comes out Jan. 18th.
It won't have multiplayer in the demo.
Don't know if it will be on the official site or if fileplanet and stuff will carry it but shouldn't be hard to locate.

Empire At War Demo 1/18/06
The main thing is as I was playing it I just wasn't having any fun. It doesn't do anything particularly bad but it doesn't do anything to stand out either.
It is only the demo so things change but it went from being a day one purchase to waiting for a few price drops.
There is no multiplayer in it so that may still overshadow things but I don't know.
The space battles where the biggest disapointment. The is no above and below. It is still just a flat plane that everything flies above. The Star Destroyers end up looking like boats.
Also there are astroids and nubula clouds/fields whatever they called them you just click and move to the left or right of them as you navigate this little spaze maze until you reach the enemy. Just to boring. Its like they just too a ground map made it black and put ships on it so it feels the same.
Try the demo yourself there aren't the long lines anyome. Tell me what you think.
The homeworld mod is still better even though you fleet can end up having 100 Falcons and a giant Star Destroyer and opens up and the ships fall out.
