We built a space empire; now we never want to return to Earth

We've set aside weeks ofleisure timeto play the space strategy blender Sword of the Stars, and we were still caught dragging our sorry asses to bed in the wee hours of the morning. It's that good.

Sword of the Stars is being developed by the core team that put together Homeworld: Cataclysm. While the Homeworld series may never be matched in terms of its sheer sense of wonder, lonely atmosphere and operatic space story, SOTS brings an entirely new brand of gameplay that is just as addictive,combining turn-based strategy with real-time battles. It's about a 50/50 blend of empire-builder Masters of Orion and RTS space fighter Homeworld - and the combo does both genres justice.
