Verdict: my new favorite RTS

In a Nutshell: This is an upgrade/expansion to a very large space RTS.

(from the game’s website)

“In Sins of a Solar Empire, you are the leader of a civilization embroiled in a galactic war, fighting for the survival of your entire race against relentless foes.  Your success will depend entirely on your ability to manage your empire and command your vast fleets of starships to victory.  Sins of a Solar Empire is a “RT4X” game, blending the epic strategy and empire management of the 4x genre with the fast-paced and tactical elements of a real-time strategy title.  “

Verdict: gorgeous

In a Nutshell: Project Aftermath is a new approach to real-time strategy with a very slimmed down resource management system and a greater focus on combat strategy.

(from the game’s website)

“In the aftermath of a great war, when your enemy has wiped out everything you hold dear, the time has come to regroup and strike back. Enlist in the Morphid army and use all the weapons and genetic powers at your disposal to eradicate the New Order menace!
