UGO

I forgive you for the sin of not knowing what a Sins of a Solar Empire is (in exchange for your forgiveness for any ensuing religious puns in this review); out of context, it's a horrible name for what is otherwise an excellent real-time strategy...read the complete Sins of a Solar Empire review at UGO

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my gaming years, it’s that managing a massive, sprawling, intergalactic space mega-empire is hard; trying to survive in a galaxy full of hostile races can be rather challenging. Sins takes the complexity you...read the complete Sins of a Solar Empire review at GameShark

Cheat Code Central

It's not much of a stretch to imagine how much fun a turn-based strategy game can be if it could be played in real time. Of course that would defeat the function of the turn-based system. But what if a game were able to combine real-time strategy with...read the complete Sins of a Solar Empire review at Cheat Code Central

If there's one thing the world of video gaming doesn't need, it's another acronym. FPS, MMORPG, DLC, DRM, SKU - pardon? So, in the interest of getting our harshest criticism of Sins of a Solar Empire out of the way early, game developers Ironclad and...read the complete Sins of a Solar Empire review at PALGN AU

I'm pretty convinced that Sins of a Solar Empire is some sort of stealthy time machine. How else could it be that I can start a new game, and then look at my watch what is surely only a single minute later, only to see that I've actually jumped four...read the complete Sins of a Solar Empire review at GameTap

In a world where an increasing number of computer games are being ported over or concurrently developed for console, it is easy for the average computer gamer to feel threatened.

Once upon a time there were "4X" turn-based strategy games and real-time strategy games and the two philosophies behind them couldn't have been more different.

But usually the complexity of the genre makes...read the complete Sins of a Solar Empire review at GameTrailers

Gamers Temple

Sins of a Solar Empire really puts the “strategy” in “real-time strategy”. Most RTS games are in reality real-time tactical games that emphasize swift and proper battlefield execution far more than they do strategic planning on a grand scale.
