Sins of a Solar Empire

it seems that the call for a new Homeworld 2 game has been heard, as you know in a earlier post I was saying how we needed a new Homeworld 2 game out and it seems that a company has got the right idea. Sins of the a Solar Empire from the screen shot I have seen looks like homeworld 2 with better graphics and lasers. From what I read this seems to be the only things that is like the old game, I'm not saying thats bad but it means that were not exactly getting our game we want. The one thing that sounds awesome is that instead of you just being in one battle that it supposed to feel epic but you never feel it because there is no real idea of what it really is useful for, well now thats changed in this game you can create a great empire to rule the cosmos and its all shown to you on a galactic map. Apparently you get a kinda turn based feel to a game but in a real time strategy pace. You get to see you empire move, trade and expand and move you armada around. Lets say you have a campaign going on, where you are under attack by some enemy that is slowly taking over and it attacks a key colony or planet. You put your fleet to defend the planet and then you get to zoom in or something and play out the battle, thats how you get a epic battle feel for it, when you actually know what at stake and why its so important.

It sounds like an amazing game and it coming out in August which is not far away which is great. Remember this is all read and beta so check out the website yourself at http://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/

Total War: Rome II

Total War: Rome II  So it took almost 2 years but I think I finally like this game. It's amazing to me because Rome Total War probably up there in most played game. The hours I have put into the game, and the nights spent trying to take over the known world are so many.  The memory of playing the demo for the first time sticks in my brain in the original game. Taking my force and attacking from the tress in a surprise maneuver just had me my teenager mind lost in a sea of tactics and battles. From that point it was nights spent avoiding homework going "just one more turn" as my armies marches across the classical world. There was something to a game that balanced a great real time war scenario with a simple yet fun turn based system that had you stuck once you started. Years went by, and more Total War games came out, but slowly they just stopped being the Total War games I loved. Looking at them I loved certain parts but the dark era of gunpowder nev...

Sins of a Solar Empire

Yep, the game I looked so forward to is finally out and its a massive...(in anticipation I decide to keep you waiting) amazing. This has been a game to wait for this year, and should win itself a few awards. From massive epic scale battles to easy but interesting empire management, the game is a killer. You start with one planet, but have the option of conquering solar systems of up to about 20 planets and even to a galaxy which can hold 5 solar systems. This means massive empires but no worries on to much micro management, the game has a simple yet still fun way of managing you empire from a side bar which shows all planets and everything inside them. With such a large area to make you empire and for it to keep fun this game will suck away all your free time. It being an rts you will find a hard time to find a place to stop. Trust me, I will try to play this game for only an hour and then 4 hours later and probably some sort of social event gone by, I am still playing and conquering ...

A new Sheriff in town

Hey Folks, won't even go into how long it has been but as tradition, a new gaming machine means a new blog post. Normally I would post if I had upgraded my main computer with something amazing. However my old 2010 iMac is still a beast so I have yet to need to do anything with it. In the mean time Macbook Air and a Macbook Pro have done well to fill any other voids I might have. This being said today I got probably the first time, a fully operational gaming machine. It is not like a  typical gaming machine however. I don't have a huge case, or 2 GPU with i7 whatever in it. Instead i got an Alienware Alpha. This thing takes up less space then a Xbox, or PS4 yet punches even harder. It has a 2 GB Nvidia card in it paired with 8 GB of Ram, and a 250 SSD. It only has a i3 processor but this is a machine meant for games. It is not meant to destroy frame rates, or edit movies however compared to the 2010 1 GB ATI card in my iMac it can beat the pants off of it for sure. I have yet ...
