Sins of a Solar Empire

Played a little of this today. Overall I like the UI, and many of the concepts, unfortunately it has the main problem I have with RTS style games. Your busy trying to enjoy a portion of the game, like the graphics of the ships fighting, but then something else happens 10 systems away that needs your immediate attention. Nothing like having 20 things to do, and only one mouse and person to do it with.

Also the pirates suck. A real pain in you side, especially if you are playing a small map against one other enemy.

I saw the game at Fry's Electronics the other day while shopping for a new pc power supply. They wanted $49.99 for the collector's edition and $39.99 for the regular. A Fry's sticker covered up what was extra in the collectors's box. Something about a poster and something else? I really couldn't tell. The game looks really cool but I have enough games atm. I will probably pick it up within the year maybe at Gamestop for lower price down the road.
