Tabula Rasa - GDC Previews @ GameSpot, GameZone

Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa has been shown at GDC and we have links for two new previews at GameZone and GameSpot:

Garriott walked us through a demonstration of the beta version of the game, which has apparently been up and running in a tightly knit "family & friends" testing group since December of last year. The game previously went through radical changes some years ago to become a futuristic sci-fi adventure that pits players against a race of invading aliens known as the Bane. The aliens have apparently gone on a large-scale campaign of conquest, attacking planets by pelting them with meteorites that infest the planets with alien growth and pave the way for invading forces. According to the game's story, you'll play as part of an alliance of surviving races that have escaped enslavement and are now fighting to push the aliens back.
