Games for Windows Co-Op Night: Sins of the Solar Empire

June 30th, 8PM EDT

This month's Games For Windows Co-Op Night takes us into the vast reaches of the galaxy in Sins of a Solar Empire, a real time strategy game from Iron Clad games. We'll be playing on Tuesday, June 30th at 8PM Eastern.

To join up we suggest joining our Steam group and utilizing the chat room to find players to meet up with.

We have a game going in the channel: Co-Optimus with a password of coopnight. Other people area available in our steam chat.

The Co-Op Experience:
Choose from a wide range of scenarios to complete. Each scenario ranges in size and the number of players it supports.

Players can work together to conquer enemy AI, utilizing interface tools for communication and collaboration.

Sins of a Solar Empire Background:
Ten millennia have passed since you and the few survivors of the once mighty Vasari Empire fled from an unknown threat that all but exterminated your kind. You now find yourself at the fringe of the galaxy in a sector occupied by a pathetically primitive species - one obsessed with trade and lacking any central organization or military technology. Calling themselves the Trader Emergency Coalition, they would have been ideal slaves in the glorious days of the past, but time is of the essence. Use your mastery of phase-space manipulation, gravity and nanotechnology to quickly eliminate any local resistance and acquire the necessary resources to fuel the next segment of your continuing exodus.

Visit the Official Sins of a Solar Empire homepage for more information.

Contest

And now we come to the contest portion of our program. We're giving away 3 copies of Sins of the Solar Empire so you can join us for co-op night! Just leave a comment on this page and tell us what you'll name your capital ship! Or give us a link to the best looking Sins screenshot you can find. We'll draw winners this Friday, June 26th so you'll have all weekend to play!

Sweet Awesomeness. I just purchased this a few days ago and I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail.

Sadly I don't think I'll be around for this night, as I have family coming to visit and arrive that day.

I haven't played it but its been on my 'must buy' list for a long time. If a newbie can join in I'd like to.

Maybe 'the Bowie' could take its maiden voyage.

Bowie's in spaaaace...(sorry)

Ehm, Firefly.

I'm not really good in names.

OpTiMaL at 03:23 PM on 6.22.2009

Serenity

Also, Fox sucks for canceling Firefly.

I interviewed the Frazier brothers (creators of Sins) back on March of last year on my Sunday night show (http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/ta ... ageSize=15). Great guys, funny, and full of ideas for the next few expansions, too.

If you see a Vasari Egg named the 'Marduka' out there in deep space -- observe as I run like a scalded dog! What? Cowardice is a valid tactic!

I didn't even know that Sin of the Solar Empire has co-op.

And my ship would be Daedalus.. cos.. well.. Stargates are the best scifi series ever ._.

I'd go for Space Pickle I suppose; depends on the shape.

th3meth at 09:01 PM on 6.24.2009

The Manhattan Project..cause ya know...the alien race is all glowy...

This looks like a fun game that I need to try out now.

My ship would be called "Thor's Chariot" yes, another StarGate reference.

Shazoo at 10:07 PM on 6.24.2009

ok i literally JUST got home with this game, borrowed it from my brothers. But that night of the event, I'll be working...

I would call it the 'S.S. More Powerful Than Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and the Incredible Hulk Put Together.' I know, original, right?

I really would love to play this game, I've heard nothing but awesome things!

Matthias at 04:17 PM on 6.25.2009

Indomitable, Legacy, and Constitution are usually my top three picks when I play on friends' computers.

On a related topic, I'd really love to not have to play on friends' computers anymore

Mmmm... I'd call it the 'Geek Armada'. D

That used to be my race name/fleet name for all my MOO games.

Codicier at 05:04 PM on 6.25.2009

Would Enterprise be cliche?

What about Flying Ninja Space Fortress?

Haven't really played this much since I bought it soon after it was released. Might be up for a co-op night though.

Thanks whoo-hooo!!

...now to practice so I don't embarrass myself

I tried to get on tonight (Tues. June 30), but for the life of me I couldn't find out how to get into an non-random game.

I'm saying this because I won the game through this post and I just didn't want to be THAT guy who wasn't grateful. I am totally psyched to have it and big thanks again Co-optimus! I'll figure it out eventually.
