IGN.com, which gave Sins of a Solar Empire the PC game of the year award in 2008, has posted their review of Sins first micro-expansion, Entrenchment.

“Last year's Sins of a Solar Empire was an undeniably amazing experience; so much so, in fact, that it won our game of the year award. But that doesn't mean that the teams at Ironclad or Stardock are resting on their laurels. They've recently released the first micro-expansion for the game, Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment. Featuring some compelling new defense oriented additions, numerous gameplay tweaks, and a ten-dollar price tag, it's a guaranteed way to extend the fun and flexibility of the Sins of a Solar Empire experience.”

Entrenchment is worth so much more than 10$ ...come on look at everything it adds! Starbases, MOVING SHIPS!!!!!!!!, Incredible new defenses and ships...not to mention that coding and modeling opportunities and capabilities just sky-rocketed!

Really I consider Entrenchment more of a COMPLETELY NEW GAME than vanilla Sins. A simple test Vs. the AI will show you how much this add-on well...adds!

A whole new gaming experience which is turning my No.1 game into Paradise on a PC +_+

But really when you think about it...all of the above, I would have been ready to pay a full game price (well lets say 30-35$ can (yeah..I'm a canadian so to hell with american dollar. LOL) for the content I got. 10$ seems more like a gift from Stardock/Ironclad!

A gift that I'll gladly take (even though I was gonna do it from start...add +2 to your total unit sales as I'll take the 2 next expansions without a doubt).
