There have been a ton of reviews coming in today for both Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity, and the micro-expansion Diplomacy.  Since there quite a few today I wanted to a quick roundup of some of the latest that have hit my inbox.

“…this quirky way of being mind-bogglingly complex while maintaining a strong sense of accessibility. Ironclad Games combined two genres I suck at, and only occasionally enjoy, and got me to completely buy into the product of their incestuous union. I regret avoiding it for so long. If you have even a mild interest in the game, you should give it a shot.”

“Given that Diplomacy is available alone or as part of Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity e - a package that also includes the original game and its first expansion, Entrenchment - there is no excuse to not experience this improvement on an already worthwhile game.”

“It's VERY addicting, it even stopped me from playing Mass Effect 2. I haven't had a decent amount of sleep in four days...”

 

We can round of this set of reviews with a great podcast from Three Moves Ahead.  Their topic of discussion is obviously Sins, and as usual, it’s an entertaining episode.

I can recommend listening to the podcast. It is indeed great and really gives you an idea how the game plays and which aspects the devs could possibly improve in a future update. Thanks for the links.

" Final verdict : must own"

"Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity will keep you sleep deprived for months on end, especially with all of the new additions added to the latest expansion pack. Whoever said Diplomacy is dead needs to check out this game!"

"Stardock released “Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity,” which includes the vanilla game and both expansions, priced at an attractive $40. Its release gives me the excuse to write this review two years late. Don’t be late to the party like me, folks—go out and get “Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity” for some seriously spectacular space strategery."

"I believe the best thing I can say about Sins of Solar Empire: Trinity is that it's a black hole of your free time. You're going to find yourself zoning into the game and when you finally snap out of it hours will have flown passed. Trinity is a great value pack for any PC gamer who hasn't jumped on board, at only 39.99. It's a title we should be proud of, one we should all be buying."

"The options are surprisingly complex, and this Trinity release features all the expansions and refinements made to the game over the past year. The complexity may take a while to come to grips with but the pay-off is as rich and rewarding as any strategy game out there."

"It's weird. That sound. It's not lasers, phasers, death rays or photon torpedoes. It's not that (now-all-too-familiar) warning: "Our home world is under attack!"

Then it hits me. It's the sound of birds chirping. It's 5:30 a.m. and the sun is beginning to brighten the backyard.

This was my first test run of Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity"

And there is more review out there... if it continue like this, maybe Trinity will have a lot of arward and maybe a few top game of the year at the end 2010...

Any word on Trinity's sales figures so far?  Is it selling and bringing brand new people into the Sins universe?

I felt compelled to take it upon myself and to enhance some of those reviews, which I feel didn't really do the game justice.

I wrote my review of Sins of a Solar Empire at SpaceSector.com (the complete package. Trinity): http://www.spacesector.com/blog/2010/02/sins-of-a-solar-empire-trinity-review/

SpaceSector.com is dedicated to Space Strategy Games in general. One of the main topics of this site is to provide reviews of space strategy games, like Sins.
