One thread to hold them all!

Published on February 3, 2008 By lordkosc In Sins of a Solar Empire

Ok , after the 20 or so preview threads that were all over the darn place, I am making a single location where we can post all the reviews of the game for easy reference.

So once you find a review, post it in the following format:

I hope this will be made sticky by someone from SD.

My review is online http://www.geforce3d.net/index/sins?page=0%2C0.

Enjoy (hopefully).

It's a extension and a modified version of the preview i did a few months back, if people who may have read my preview before notice how similar they are. (except it's obviously been edited to reflect final game changes, plus more is added etc)

Sirbaron, really like your review, I think it gives a very good overview of the gameplay, exactly what I would want

And some more links...

wow awesome. congrats. if there would be a campaign you´d probably see perfect scores for this. for me, the lack of one just shows that you guys wanted to make a great game, not just trick us into giving you our money.

Great reviews. I'm finding it hard to believe that everyone really is so in love with this game. And I mean that in the sense that that rarely happens. Man oh man, this really has me stoked for the long future of Sins. Great job guys!

Well, aside from Mr. Troll here, SSE appears to be very well received overal.

Don't forget to add the 4.5/5.0 from Gamespy LordKosc, with Editor's Choice too.

Sins seems to be growing into a box-office hit, awesome work IronClad.

Just ban his IP

and if using proxies just put his IP on the forum so we can have a crack at him

(I know I know illegal but still fun:P)

"This core difference is key to making Sins an approachable game, but it might leave adrenaline-dependent strategy gamers a little disappointed. While the game is real-time in nature, it is by no means an edge-of-your-seat experience."

one of the most a55onine comments i've ever read. wow. i cannot remember how many times this week i was WIGGING OUT playing this game with my face literally 3 inches from the screen, trying to save my planets, etc...
