IMG has posted a hands-on preview of Space Colony, the upcoming sim game from Aspyr Media. Here's a clip from the preview:

The primary game mode – simply called “Space Colony” -- is an ongoing Real Worldish storyline in which a bunch of misfits attempt to exploit extraterrestrial colonies for a stereotypical, money-grubbing corporation. The second, “Galaxy Mode”, offers a choice of different scenarios at varying difficulty levels. Some are production oriented, and involve harvesting resources. Others deal with more social problems, such as promoting tourism on a frontier world, while still others involve military objectives like attacking aliens. The third mode, “Sandbox”, lets you pursue open-ended goals in extreme environments of your own choosing. The final mode allows you to try your hand at player-created scenarios, either homegrown ones created using the included Planet and Campaign editors, or ones that others have posted to the Net.
