"A fantastic Game!"
Version: Glest 3.1
Pros
Glest is a fantastic game because it combines fast, action packed play with fantasy rivaled by more popular fantasy games such as Warcraft and Warhammer. It has open GPL licensing, so any mods made are not tripped up by licensing or copyrights.
Cons
The factions are of limited length, but work is being done to make them longer. The game is realatively new, but there is already a large 1500+ member forum at glest.org/glest_board.

"The Best Game Ever!"
Version: Glest 3.1
Pros
Npthing beats this easily moddible fun game with even more factions available for download. 100% free and well worth it!
Cons
Jee, there aren't any!
Summary
There's no denying that this game is the best, especially for an open source game that is free, No one can turn this game down, and it's sure to allow hours of fun. Be sure to check out http://glest.org/ for a number of extra downloads!

"Downright Awesome!"
Version: Glest 3.1
Pros
One of my favorite games of all time was Dune II, a (now free) real time strategy game made in 1992. When I saw this game, I knew it was right up my alley! After 5 minutes of playing, I was hooked! It is very fun to play and best of all, free!
Cons
The only things I don't like about this game, are there are only two factions. However, this does not hurt the game play at all.
Summary
I definately reccomend downloading this if you need a good way to kill time, or just love real time strategy games. I carry this game all over the place on my two gigabyte USB drive.

Version: Glest 3.1
Pros
There are lots of maps, factions, mods and addons you keep you entertained for ever, since its VRY active community is always churning out new stuff.
Addictive and entertaining
Cons
Only negative I see is it takes a little while to load all its stuff on every game. Other than that it's great.
