Hands On: Star Trek Online

A row of bright orange boxes, quietly humming, and a discreet "Cryptic" logo on the vest of the bloke loitering nearby, were all that indicated that I was about to get a look at one of sci-fi culture’s most anticipated titles.

I had managed to get in ahead of the teeming thousands still gaping in awe at Assassin’s Creed II back in the other half of the expo, and even to buttonhole the Cryptic rep along with one of the demo machines for a good long preview of Star Trek Online. Hurrah!
