gamesradar sins of a solar empire review: 9/10 (AAA)

Im gonna go ahead and say it will probably be a 9.0 here also, since Galactic civ. was also reviewed well here and GS seems to like inovation in games.

I'm kicking myself right now for not picking it up today.

Dam this game looks good. :(

I am waiting for pc gamer review before picking it, but it sure look nice.Franko_3

Have you been listening to the PC Gamer Podcast?

They have been raving about it nonstop(during the time when it is relevant to the conversation) for the past 3 episodes. Chuck Osborn has basically said that he has hardly slept in the past 2 weeks because he has been playing the game.... Even Norm says he can't get enough of the game and he is the shooter guy...

I would say that a 90% or higher review is guaranteed from them... If it is below 90% I will be SHOCKED.

I only read the mags lol, but wow, the last time they were so exited about a game, it was Crysis. I will buy it next week.

yeah. Their podcast is fantastic though. I highly recommend it. I like it more than any other podcast out there to be honest. I will try to find the time when Dan(was Dan not Chuck.... Sorry, got them confused. Chuck has also said that he loves Sins though) said that he was actually losing sleep over the game...

Episode #119 at around the 49:53 mark.

Dan: And uh.... I have been playing Sins of a Solar Empire until my eyes bleed. Uhh... *laugh* Norm and I have hust been completely addicted to it. Actually, a couple of nights ago I got home from work and just collapsed at like 7:30 and slept until the following morning at 7:00AM.

Chuck: Yeah.... wasn't there more to that story...

Dan: Well... I had been up the previous several nights playing Sins of a Solar Empire until like 2 or 3 in the morning so...PC Gamer Podcast

And then Norm goes on about how he would be playing Sins if he didn't have to do the podcast.

edit - wow.... it went through.... my connection timed out and I got a cannot connect to server... dang that was weird...

It NEEDS a European / Australian publisher NOW.

However I get the feeling it will get AA on GS.

I have too many games to play that I can't get new ones! :cry:mjarantilla

I wish I had a machine where I could go into a pocket dimension where time dosen't move so that I can cach up on all the games I want to play. I also should also start spending less time here.

and the best thing: as good as it is now it's merely a beggining. It will have the same post-release updates that GC2 had, not just fixes and tweaks, but tons of new content. SO as good as it is now, a 6 months from now it will be a lot better :)AdrianWerner

What exactly did those updates add btw? I own GC2 as well but only recently, so I have no clue of what huge changes were added.
