Sins of a Solar Empire: Nice galaxy, we'll take it

Having lost all contact with Earth, human colonies scattered in far flung reaches of space struggle to rebuild in Ironclad Games' Sins of a Solar Empire 4X real-time strategy title. 4X stands for eXpand, eXplore, eXploit, eXterminate and is usually a term reserved for turn-based strategy games.

The developers at Ironclad Games, who also created the acclaimed Galactic Civilization series, have outdone themselves this time. Strategy fans of turn-based and real-time games alike can both rejoice – Sins has found the best of both worlds.
