Sins of a Solar Empire

Anyone tried the RTS Sins of a Solar Empire?
I've kept an eye on the game a while, and really liked the GT review: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/31206.html

Seems like they finally made an RTS that I could really like again, I've grown tired of RTS like Age of Empires/Command & Conquer games where it often ends up being more about spamming/zerging then tactics etc. Anyone else felt like that? Or am I just weird :P?

I found another video I shoul dhave posted in the original post: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/28110.html?type=mov
It is a demo walkthrough where the developers are also talking about the game, if I remember correctly (haven't watched it in a while) they sai dthat battles can last for a short time or over very long periods, which si also why they have the "save" function even in multiplayer.

There is a demo of it.

Tried it out and I must say its pretty addicting.

At first, I was a little overwhelmed by the choices I had and was pretty much destroyed in the in the first battle.

But after a few matches a got the hand of it and beat the computer on easy for the first time and then was going to beat two computers when the demo timer ended.

What I liked was the scale of it and pace. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by fast RTS so its nice to have one thats a bit slow. Its not about quick thinking as much as strategy. It's nice for a change. Its basically Galactic Civ, or Civilizations in real time.

What I dont like is that the battles are slow and the movements are too. Its more of quirk than a problem but when I was chasing around the computer after I pretty much destroyed him by taking over his capital, I had to go around and destory each planet he colonized. 30 minutes later I was done mopping up.

It could be the demo but overall, seemed really fun and I'm going to try to pick it up if I can find it (when released no stores had a copy in Ottawa)
