Sins of a Solar Empire from Amazon.com Because if you do, you probably won't sleep. I have yet to install this on my new computer, so I can't comment on the whole Impulse DRM thing. I also haven't played Entrenchment, so some of this review maybe outdated if you get all the expansions for this game. If you are a fan of RTS games and space opera, and you have patience, you'll love this game. from Amazon.com this is a pretty good game, however it is pretty repeditive... there is not much to it, no campaign, and the single player game play is all the same thing... from Amazon.com One problem that commonly occurs with RTS games that feature huge environments and a plethora of units is the issue of micro-management. Take for example the Total War franchise. from Amazon.com Pros: -Strategic zoom camera (Similar in scope / feel to Supreme Commander). I seriously cannot handle playing any RTS without this camera style. It makes it very easy to control multiple fleets doing multiple things in completely different galaxies / solar systems.-Graphics are great-It is fun to play. from Newegg.com I bought this game second hand, being genuinely interested in the game. First advice: do not do this. If the cd key is in use you cannot update the game past 1.3, leaving bugs in the game. from Amazon.com A great game! Before this, the last computer games I had enjoyed were Civilization IV and Warcraft III. from Amazon.com I have to post my first review of a game ever. Ive been playing PC games since 1994, 15 years or so as an adult. from Amazon.com For some of us, nothing was ever better than the original Master of Orion in the mid 1990's -- it was a perfect blend of tactics and strategy, allowing macro-level management and also just the right amount of micro-management with planets, but done in a smart way that kept you from having to tweak too much. Unfortunately, the game producers drew the wrong conclusion that users wanted more micromanagement, and the subsequent games were an unmanageable and unpleasant mess. from Amazon.com The good stuff: The graphics are appropriately vast; the scope of gameplay is enormous, without becoming unwieldy; and real-time space strategy is something I've never seen before but turns out to be a cool idea. Now for the bad stuff: After getting a good grip on the game, and you get ready to roll up your sleeves and REALLY start enjoying it, you suddenly realise that there is nothing left to enjoy. from Amazon.com
