Looks like the human side is destroying  the cyborgs by 2:1.<br />
This sort of thing happens in free mmos, like <a href="http://www.urbandead.com">Urban Dead</a>. </p>
<p>Balance among sides is rare&#8230; No, really rare. Hopefully it&#8217;s not just a mass of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_(computer_and_video_games)#Origins">zergs</a>, hopefully it&#8217;s just that iPhone players just selected the human side without even thinking. Then it&#8217;s just the fact that HUMAN was on the left side of the GUI and western players read it left to right and clicked on it. </p>
<p>Or is it that we always want to play the &#8220;good guys&#8221;?</p>
<p>As for the game, it&#8217;s a gps based &#8220;Very fancy&#8221; Battleship.( Which is basically marco polo (which is basically &#8220;Hide and Seek&#8221;) ).</p>
<p>And the leading players scores are off the charts. I don&#8217;t have a chance at this point. The game opened last November. </p>
<p>Also, no one wins any prizes, not even a dvd box set of the first season.</p>
<p>Obligatory Summer Glau with a gun pic.<br />
