I’m a Sinner… Yes Sir.. After buying Sins of a Solar Empire sight unseen I’ve been playing it non-stop through my evenings over the last four days.

If there’s one thing wrong with this 4X strategy game, it’s that you get completely sucked in and completely lose track of time. Before you know it, a quick glance at your clock will show it’s 1am and you still haven’t conquered the game after a marathon 3-4 hour session. In fact most small random games often take as long as 5 hours total to complete. Or you can attempt to do a frigate ship rush which can cut that in half, however it’s nowhere near as satisfying.

Now how does the admission of sin come into play? I haven’t even touched my World of Warcraft account, nor my EvE account, not even an inkling of desire to log into those since installing SoaSE.

This game is turning out to be the indy hit of the year, and I won’t hesitate to recommend it to fans of any type of PC strategy game. There’s something here that will appeal to everyone.
