I scored May's issue of PC Gamer Magazine. I've been out of the loop for a while now.
I read a few things about a game called Sins of a Solar Empire, which sounds like a mouthful but in all honesty, it seems like it is the space RTS that Spore's space age tried to be or what I felt it should have been.
I'm working now to line up a digital download of the game, or at the very least a demo.
Also, Goldeneye: Source. Most of us here probably all loved the crap out of Goldeneye on the N64, now someone has brought it back to life, on the PC, and internet multiplayer compatible. It's not some hacked up "mod" so much as it is an exact-to-the-millimeter port onto the Source engine. I've read some exciting things about it and I look forward to giving it a spin. Hopefully I can get a few guys around here to play it with me.

So you are saying that I should acquire this game to the best of my ability?
I'm finding Goldeneye: Source to be a pain in the ass to download. Mainly because my internet connection is slow and unstable and most of the webservers that I'm downloading it from do not support resume...
I'm going to host it here once I have it downloaded, so other people in similar situations as myself do not have to suffer.
I've got Sins of a Solar Empire. I had always meant to, but my friend bought it on a whim himself so I had to pick it up too.
... and then of course the inevitable. He came to my place for a weekend and we set the galaxy map to the biggest possible with the most AI characters available and spent roughly an entire day playing together (I mean a day with no sleep). It was epic.
