The trial version of Gemini 2 can scan through your Mac any number of times and analyze any amount of data. However, the app can clean up to 500 MB data only. To remove restrictions, you need to purchase a license and unlock your version of Gemini. Gemini, our favorite duplicate file finder for Mac, got a big update today that modernizes the interface and improves the file scanning algorithm so it can find.

- Gemini Wars PC/Mac Game acebook. Newer Post Older Post. Decades have passed since war erupted between the United Space Federation and the Alliance of Free Worlds. A bloody conflict that seemed to have reached a stalemate is now about to change, when a third faction suddenly appears.
Remember that bit in one of the Star Trek films (it might have been Nemesis or First Contact Vampire: the masquerade - coteries of new york artbook for mac os. , we can’t be bothered googling it) where Jonathan Frakes takes control of the Enterprise, and they’re flying away from some attacking aliens?
Frakes suddenly decides ‘sod it’, utters ‘I’m through running from these bastards’ and then he decides to take complete control of the ship itself by pressing a button, gleefully revealing a Commodore 64 style joystick. Naturally, Frakes is better at controlling the ship than an entire crew filled with professionals that had trained their whole lives to help keep the Enterprise up and running, and he saves the day.

Gemini Wars is yet another low-budget – albeit thankfully low-price – bit of space-RTS nonsense that’s mired in tedium.
You play a chap called Captain Cole, who looks like a Madame Tussauds statue sculpted by a drunk person and left under some hot lights for too long. Cole starts off fighting other humans in some intergalactic civil war, but then an alien race – excellently named The Grak – decide to get involved too, giving Cole (and by extension you) an excuse to warp around space taking part in gratuitous, very slow battles.
Considering it’s only made by a few people, it’s a good achievement. But alas, that doesn’t part the mustard in an event horizon now, does it?

I don't usually step into first-person when writing these reviews. After all, it isn't about me, it's about you the player. However, this game is written in Unity so I have to note a combination of bias and over-criticalness about how I view this game. On the one hand, I'm very happy to see a game on sale using the Unity engine, but on the other I've coded numerous games/utilities with the engine so it's very obvious to me when things are a little sloppy and/or easily adjusted. With that in mind, back to the usual review! -Frank
It's not very often that you see a space strategy game released these days. Aside from Sins of a Solar Empire and its expansions, there haven't really been any major new entrants. This is generally because of the expectations placed on the sub-genre. There has to be a research tree, there have to be planets you can utilize somehow, and the gameplay needs to take place on a very large playing field. On top of that, you also need the multiple sides, understandable interface, and macro-commands that all strategy games utilize. Despite the difficulty, Camel 101 has decided to try its hand with Gemini Wars.

At least on the basic side, they've succeeded. There are multiple classes of ships you can produce from the bases you construct on larger planetoids, you have research you have to develop to effectively compete against the different sides opposing you, and each map is set up in a way that promotes large battles. You also have unique upgrades you can attach to the larger ships, a limited number of ships you can produce that's increased by the number of your military bases, and static defenses you can construct to hold off enemy attacks.
Unfortunately, on the grander design side of things, the game fails to hold any interest. You may have multiple varieties of ships, but the larger ships always defeat smaller ships that total to the same supply usage. As a result, there's no variety in combat if you want to win. You just crank out as many high-level ships as you can, clump them together, focus fire, and win. It's not difficult and it's certainly not engaging. What makes matters worse is that the health and shields for your units are very strong and their attacks are weak. As a result, even in large battles, it can take upwards of ten minutes to finish destroying all the enemy ships. This is faster when you have a superior force, of course, but similar ones almost always tend to take forever to kill.

The research is similarly lackluster. You can build research bases infinitely, so long as you have space around a military base. As a result, instead of the lengthy research of games like Master of Orion II and Galactic Civilizations, you can easily research all the possible technology in the first 10-20 minutes of each level. There aren't that many pieces of research to gather, either, as each of the six categories only holds ten items at most. So, what inevitably ends up happening is that you grind out all the research as fast as you can, and then ignore it for the rest of the level.
Your system defenses are also rather broken. In most games you have limited options in this area. A space station, maybe a minefield. In Gemini Wars, you can build an infinite number of turrets, even right next to where the enemies warp into the system. It's ridiculous. At the end of a long level, you can easily have built up a few hundred turrets around the map, which makes those locations impossible to assault. The computer never builds turrets, thankfully, or the game would literally be impossible. As it stands, however, it's extremely easy to defend, kill all the enemy ships, and then counter with your own for an easy win.
