Things Are Spicin' Up In Dune: Spice Wars Early Access

Want to hear something controversial? Dune: Spice Wars isn’t as good as Dune 2. Is that the internet melting? Far from the type who likes to court attention for the sake of it and be difficult, the RTS from Shiro Games and Funcom didn’t moisten my pants as
