While the majority of you voted that BHG will be creating an expansion pack in future, the largest amount of votes say that they won't unless the community mirculously grows.

Our next question to you has to do with BHG's latest project: Age of Empires 3: "The Asian Dynasties Expansion Pack". They will be working together with Ensemble Studios and some elements of Rise of Nations and Rise of Legends may appear in the game. We want to know whether you all want it as much as we do!

Catan, the Big Huge Game developed for the Xbox Live Arcade, has been released! Based upon the Board Game 'Settlers of Catan', which has sold over 12 million copies worldwide, it is purchasable in the Live Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points - in the USA, 800 Points would cost about $10, with variations for other countries.

Tycho at Penny Arcade has written a review, which is a good read for those of you interested. Here's a quote:
"I don't know how this happened, how a game of this type was authorized all the way up the chain and then delivered on a mainstream entertainment device, but it's clearly the result of some divine act. I must remember to make the proper sacrifices."
