This makes me want an Xbox.  I am a major sucker for space combat sims.  If only lucas arts would make another X-wing v Tie fighter, or another game along the lines of Tachyon would come out.

I actually played the demo for this last night but am still unsure if I want to buy it from the arcade.  Anyone have comments on the multiplayer... is it worth it?
