OK, only 1 month to go and no talk? I am a big fan of the original and I can't wait to play this. To kick things off... how about a Tac nuke!!

A Sad Day Indeed

Chip5541 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:11:55 -0400

Upon logging on to the mythos site forum I was greeted with this from the Mythos team.

“Travelers of Uld,
We, the ancient elders of Uld are issuing this warning to all citizens and travelers. Hurry! The great darkness that once plagued Uld is returning. Everyone is ordered to close down their shops and prepare. We predict the when night is at its peak the darkness will arrive. The ancient elders of Uld will be leaving immediately in order to preserve the lore of this wonderful world. Citize...

I HATE RUNESCAPE

gamerking345 — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:42:23 -0400

okay, well, here are some reasons i hate runescape

1. horrible graphics- the graphics are so bad, even with a major overhaul they would still be horrible

2. too many people play it- it is always lagging and you never have the chance to do anything

3. MEMBERSHIP- barely any other games have both a free to play and a membership version, most of them have an item mall or somthing and members in runescape really get under my skin, they are annoying

4. in the free to pla...

Games For Windows Live

Thaeos — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 07:31:42 -0400

Does anyone else HATE this?? I bought Universe at War: Earth Assault, but the developers may as well have left out the multiplayer parts of the game, as GFWL cripples it completely. Unless you want to pay extra for something that is expected to be included...

I like the game though, it is fun to play, until singleplayer gets old.

Battlestations: Pacific

Chip5541 — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 09:33:02 -0400

Big fan of the original. It was a little on the short side but still a fun game Battlestations: Pacific, the official sequel to 2007's acclaimed Battlestations: Midway, will be available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and Games For Windows. The game features a massive U.S. and Japanese single player campaign that offers a unique blend of action and strategy. Players must plan their moves carefully on huge open-world arenas and fight in the air, above sea and underwater...

Finishing Saved Games

Phalnax811 — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:40:27 -0400

So I love doing comp stomps either by myself or with others. When I play by myself I rarely have time to finish it so I quit and never get the win or loss. But when I save them and finish them it doesn't count it in my statistics. It's sorta frustrating to play a four hour game without it counting the win (or loss I guess). Is this a bug or is it so people don't save games near the end and replay them a bunch of times to get the wins? Can it be so that it only counts it o...

Phase space and worm holes

spaceman63 — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 19:17:49 -0400

Hey guys

I would like to know the difference between using phase space to make long jumps to anothe star system and using worm holes, I am playing a game that has wormholes, so I would like to know also how to use these wormholes?

Thanks for your help

Homeworld 2

eldardude — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 03:34:56 -0400

I have seen many mentions of Homeworld 2 when talking about SOASE.
My question is should I get Homeworld 2? Is it that good?

Sword of the Stars..... Anyone play it?

lordkosc — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 15:56:45 -0400

Sword of the Stars @ Gamespot

This game reminds me in some aspects of what SOASE might be like, but SOASE will be a lot better in its implementation and the fact that it is in REAL TIME! I HATE turn based games, as I have come to find out....

SOTS was an ok game, I played it for about 2 months , but it got tedious as the methods of space travel took forever, and the galaxy map was 3D and almost impossible to manage once your empire grew past 9-10 planets. Also , I much prefer the way SOASE...

C&C Kane's Wrath

JinxOfSin — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:46:08 -0400

I just picked this game up yesterday. Seems quite fun although I haven't had time to really sink my teeth into it. Anyone else play C&C 3 who might get this?

Has anyone given this one a go? An RPG hasn't hooked me as much as this one has in a long time .

games for Windows adding to Gamerscore

VahnNoa — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:03:15 -0400

If you read the description of gamerscore on Xbox Live it says its the combination of your scores for Xbox 360 and Games for Windows games. The achievements on Sins of a Solar Empire are setup the same way 360 achievements are, except they give you no score.

So, is there any way to raise your 360 gamerprofile's score by playing Sins? Or for that matter any Pc game, or is that a feature microsoft never bothered to implement or tell others about?

How does Sins compare to Gal Civ 2

MFarder — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:57:50 -0400

Well I have Sins and I enjoy playing it a lot, but I was wondering if I should get Galactic Civilizations 2. If any of you guys have played both or either game could you post some information on how the two games compare in terms of gameplay, graphics, ships, etc. I am asking this because I could just read info and facts from the Gal Civ 2 website or I could get a player's perspective on the game. If I discover that Gal Civ 2 is fun then I might buy it. Th...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Frost — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:45:47 -0400

So does anyone else here have this game?

It's interesting how much promise there is in this game, and how it has changed from the versions presented back in 2004.

I like the game (not so much the scary parts) but I think it will be vastly improved when the modding tools are released and the features that were cut (sleeping, vehicles) are fixed. The code and textures for the vehicles and sleeping are largely still there so once the tools are provided their should be a great amount of chan...

Ressurect Sacrifice

Groovyash — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:34:12 -0400

Reading the post title calling us "Sinners" reminded me of one of my favorite games, Sacrifice, and its Saccers. As long as Stardock is going nuts with its teamups and Impulse stuff, maybe I could throw out a suggestion they look at bringing this classic back to the digital distribution era in an updated form.

I promise I'll throw in my 300 crystal if that day ever comes.

Good Lord, Boom Blox is so much fun.

JinxOfSin — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:42:12 -0400

My goodness, this game is SO incredibly fun, I can't stop smiling while I'm playing it. It's just so satisfying to throw stuff and watch ensuing chaos. Games like these are why I purchased a Wii. It's nice that these kind of games are finally coming out.

Anyone else picked up this game yet?

Combat Mission: Shock Force

GCFL — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 09:45:10 -0400

Has anyone played this game? I loved the older Combat Mission games but have not looked at this one yet. Just wondering what others thought? I for one love the game mechanics (plot move, hit play and watch everything transpire for 1 minute. Once done, repeat etc.)

Alpha Centauri

hun23 — Sat, 31 May 2008 05:05:43 -0400

Hi, umm, just wondering if anyone has played Alpha Centauri? I bought it in a five-pack for $9.99 and it is my favourite of the pack. It is a Sid Meier, so it is good. Anyone just comment on if you have played it or if you have actually found its expansion.

Their website says "Robust multiplayer allows you to challenge up to 32 players either competitively or in co-op mode."
