I haven't had much time (or inclination) recently for any real gaming. I'll be writing a bit more about some of the things that have occupied my "free" time later. For now, though, I must admit that I'm intrigued by this latest offering from Stardock (and Ironclad Games), makers of one of the only other PC games I've played over the past couple of years.
Early reviews have been stellar. Having cut my teeth on both Civilization and Dune 2, I admit my preference in strategy games has tended toward turn-based, and not so much real-time. But everything I've read about Sins of a Solar Empire is that it's unlike any RTS, and gameplay never feels overwhelming, even when commanding vast armadas of capital ships across a vast galaxy.
Great graphics. Great scalability and stability. Plenty of guns and butter during gameplay. Minimum hardware requirements look like something out of 2002. Might be just the thing to provide a welcome distraction during these last few sub-zero days in Minnesota.

Looks sweet. I've been looking for a new game to tinker with. I've been playing the same ones for a couple years now, and am bored with them.
Roger that. The previous release from these guys has lasted me for quite awhile, which is definitely one of the reasons I'm interested in this one. Given how good they are about patches and upgrades and incorporating user feedback into their products, I'd imagine that this game would prove to be a worthy addition to my (now) tiny gaming library.
