Sins of Solar Empire offers no campaign mode or a non-traditional campaign would be the best way to describe it. The single player mode is kind of like playing many different skirmish maps in a row and there is no following story when you enter the next map. This RTS features however many interesting features and still looks very promising especially in multiplayer mode since there is no story in single player mode. It is however easy to see that the producer Blair Fraiser has really worked in the details on each map. While you play you are able to ally up with other races and people to defeat a larger enemy together. This is really cool and with the excellent AI this may be the best thing with the whole game. Example: In order to improve diplomatic relations with one race, we were asked to wipe out 5 civilian colonies of another race. When you are on team with someone you are also able to break loose from the team and betray you team mate. This is a cool feature because then things are always what they seem to be.

The game is all about conquering different galaxies and you have to use everyone you can to do it before someone else does it. A battle can last for many hours though so you better have good time when you play this game. The game goes however live next month and I think this will be a huge multiplayer hit.

Lost Odyssey will probably be out next month and as you might know this is a Japanese RPG from the creators of the Final Fantasy series. Lost Odyssey tells the story of Kaim Argonar who has been living as an amnesiac immortal for some time. When you first start the game you are on a huge battlefield and you see tons of people bashing on each other. Then the camera zooms in one of the characters on the battlefield. This is Kaim Argonar the character you will control through the game. Suddenly the whole battlefield gets blown away by some badass energy but you survive. After this you wake up in a city and the real game begins.

Lost Odyssey reminds me very much of Final Fantasy X. the game play and camera angels are the same. Lost Odyssey is however quicker then all the Final Fantasy games so when you are in a battle you have to be quick and time your hits to get “perfect hit” and max damage. SO I think the battle system is cool and active.

As I stated above, Kaim is immortal and so is his friend Seth that will join you later so when your health get beat’n out of you, you won’t die you will only be unconsciousness for a while. If however everyone on your team dies and you becomes unconsciousness you will get game over though. If you want a game that is more mature then the FF series this is one to keep an eye out for.
