Not to get off topic though, I'm heavily debating on whether or not to get Sins. I'm waiting on a few more official reviews before I make that decision.
Official Review: Teh Awesome.
Seriously, even if you don't like the game it worth supporting a great developer and an absolutely fantastic publisher/developer (Stardock).
I'm having a blast, though I haven't had much time to put into it yet (I've only managed to squeak in 8 hours or so). I love the fact that not only is it a 4X type game, but it's an RTS that finally stresses
strategy instead of how quickly you can build shit. That was always my biggest gripe with regular RTSes, it was all about 3 or 4 different strategies and the race to get there. Oh, and the level of micro in Sins is minimal (and can be reduced even further if you wish) to the point where all you have to do is form a fleet and point it at the bad guys while you work on an entirely different side of things. Of you can hop into the battle and micro it to get a bit of benefit, though the AI usually does a good job of taking care of itself.
