Watching the fleet drop out of hyperspace is quite fun.

"At this time, Sins of a Solar Empire will only be released for Windows XP however the technology, gameplay, and user interface were designed with consoles in mind."

This is a bad sign, even with the next question in the list. Its also entirely real time, which throws it straight into my "check the demo when you have time" pile. Not that I dislike RTS- its just when they up the scale too much they tend to get unplayable.

Sword of the Stars has been released? You've played it?

It is horrible though, so be warned.

Phoenix, you must agree the trailer looks pretty good doesnt it ? Something like a mix of Homeworld and SE

I don't as a general rule watch trailers. and the mix of Homeworld and SE is exactly what makes me leary of the game.
