From the SarcasticGamer.com review: "For those of you with computers and an itch for some space strategy, the original Sins of a Solar Empire took galactic civilization building to a level not seen since the Master of Orion series. For those of you that are unfamiliar with Sins of a Solar Empire, it is a great smash up of both real time strategy and 4X gameplay (explore, expand, exploit and exterminate) that focused around planet building and star fleet management. The original kept me up many nights, convincing myself that I was just going to play a few more minutes before going to bed, only to next look up and find that it was next Tuesday."
There’s no doubt about it: with the pending arrivals of the 1.2 patch and Sins: Rebellion, things are once again looking bright for Ironclad’s ad astra magnum opus (is that too much Latin?).
But I didn’t call this meeting to discuss the latest patch. Rather, I called it because I just have to exclaim, loudly and clearly, that: I just love Sins of a Solar Empire!
But I have to ask why? What makes the hours absolutely fly by when you play it?
Ironclad and Stardock today announced at the GDC 2011 that a stand-alone expansion for their award winning 4X title Sins of a Solar Empire is in the works and is entitled, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion.
This should be good. I've yet to play Sins of a Solar Empire but have read great things about it.
Without warning or comment, a new poll showed up on the official Sins of a Solar Empire website today. It simply asks: “Would you like to see another Sins expansion?” Interestingly, there is no official discussion thread tied to this poll, something that suggests that it may be an entirely idle question. The Ironclad devs remain mum.
