We are well into 2009, but the PC game awards for 2008 have not stopped yet, but we aren’t complaining!  The latest news comes from Maximum PC which has published their top PC game awards for 2008, and Sins of a Solar Empire made the list. “Sure, it’s a 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) space-exploration RTS and plays a lot like a real-time version of the board game Risk, but it’s one of the most fun and engrossing multiplayer RTSes we’ve ever played. The real risk (in sp...

To say that Sins of a Solar Empire had a great would be putting it mild, we had a FANTASTIC year!  The end of the year means gaming and tech sites/magazines publish their “best of” lists along with features like user picks, special spotlights, and all that good stuff. Over the last couple of weeks we have seen Sins of a Solar Empire just sweep through nominations and awards, and IronClad Games and Stardock just couldn’t be more pleased.  I thought today we would...

The Best of 2008 lists keep rolling in, and Sins of a Solar Empire makes it into the Top 5 PC Games list from Gamasutra. “One of the year's great success stories was this space strategy title from Vancouver-based Ironclad Games, which put the small developer on the map and scored another hit for its increasingly influential publisher Stardock. Ostensibly a member of the "4X" genre of domination-oriented titles, Sins of a Solar Empire, with its explicit focus on battles and it...

Softpedia.com has named Sins of a Solar Empire RTS of the year!  “In a way, it’s unfair to compare Sins of a Solar Empire, from Ironclad Games and Stardock, with the biggest real time strategy title released this year, Red Alert 3, from Electronic Arts and its Los Angeles Studios. They are very different games, with far apart settings, and target audiences that rarely mix. But Sins of a Solar Empire has something that the third installment of the Red Alert spin off from the Tiber...

In the games section of USA Today, they have a “gamers profile” of Morgan Webb, co-host of G4TV’s X-Play, and various other TV appearances.  Going through her list of current favorite games to play, I see one in particular that is very familiar, Sins of a Solar Empire! “I really enjoy Resistance (1 and 2) and the Ratchet and Clank series, Gears of War, and Halo is always a good time. I also enjoy real-time strategy games like Supreme Commander and Sins of a Solar Empire. I al...

The gang over at AmpedGaming.com have published their review of Sins of a Solar Empire. “Arguably my favourite aspect of Sins is that it brings back an aspect of RTS games that have been quite absent in many games recently.  This is the diplomacy menu and the trade and commerce menu.  Any Hardcore RTS boasts the ability for you to not only conquer with military power but to run your enemies out of business with smooth economics skills or to get others to destroy them for you ...

But, really this “micro-expansion” is just about adding those few new defensive abilities, abilities that really do spice up the game. Even if you are a purely offensive p...
