"Developer Ironclad Games knocked this one out of the park with their debut title. This game combined 4X space strategy with real time combat and a graphics engine that looked great without the need for a overpowered rig.

"Expand, explore, exploit, exterminate. Become the master of the universe in this elaborate interstellar strategy game. "Epic" doesn't even fully encapsulate the scope of Sins of a Solar Empire. The depth of the gameplay and the customization options are amazing enough. But when you extrapolate them out over the game's nearly-endless virtual spacescape, you see why Sins fans regularly claim to have spent thousands of hours immersed in it." -- Earnest Cavalli See full article
