PC download charts: 'Endless Space'

The July 4 release is the first game from the Parisian team at Amplitude Studios, whose staff members have previously worked on the Assassin's Creed and Battlefield series, and strategy games RUSE and Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes.

Often described as "Civilization in space" by players, Endless Space's unofficial moniker should please co-founder Romain de Waubert, who had "played Civilization in high school and decided to build [a game] just as good."
