For me yes...It is in with games like XCOM, FarCry(original), Panzer General, Star Fleet:EAW, Company of Heroes. IMO it is far better than MoO. The game play is really addictive it provides easy MP with SAVEGAME and PAUSE functionality so that my friends and I can return when our time permits.

My top 5 would be:

Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360)

World in Conflict (PC)

Sins of a Solar Empire (PC)

Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

Don't quite know about #5...

I would say my top 5 of all time in no particular order would be

Moo2

Sins

Civ 4

Sots

Ultima Online

Not for me, no. My preferred genre of games is cRPGs, so my top five list would be in that genre. But I like Sins a lot and it being the first game of this genre that I've tried, I can say it's a f***ing awesome game.

Phoenix Rising

SoaSE

Shockwave

World in Conflict

Halo 3 (Online)

Ace Combat 6, Wing Commander series, Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed come pretty close as well.

double post........

Nah, Sins is good, but its not Top 5 games ever good, maybe in the Top 10-15 Strategy games though, and definitely one of the best games in recent years.


Judging games by personal preference, off the top of my head, I'd go with:

Conflict Freespace 1+2
Terra Nova
Thief 1+2
System Shock 1+2
Civ 4
 
But then I'm leaving out Battlezone 1+2, Gal Civ 2, Quake 3 Arena, Fallout 1+2, Baldurs Gate, SupCom, Homeworld, Company of Heroes, Imperium Galactica 2, The Tone Rebellion, etc, etc, etc, 5 is not enough.

LOL @ Thread

Top 5: (no order)

• Tie fighter
• Xcom Ufo Defense
• Ultima Online
• Diablo 2
• Starcraft

Sins is great no doubt, but nowhere near top 5

I hate threads like this.  Sins is great and I love it, but you put me in an impossible position.  Ive been playing games for a long time and its not even close to top ten.  Thats nothing against sins, its just there have been a lot of really great classic games that had a much larger impact.

It would help if you narrowed the category a bit...like "top 5 space stragetgy games", or even better, "top 5 space tactical RTS"...then we're in business.

For me, the top 5 "all time"  games would be all dominated by classic RPGs before I even started to get to the strategy games, as great RPGs tend to have a much more lasting personal impact because of the story involved.

just an example of some of the games you have to get through before you can even start thinking about sins:

1) Baldur's Gate 2/ToB

2)Planescape Torment

3)Fallout 1&2

4)Half Life

5)Starcraft

7) Civillization 2

8)Jedi Knight 2

9)Diablo 2

10)Tie Fighter

11) System Shock 2

12)Dune

12)The Gold Box DnD games

14) Dungeon Keeper

15) Knights of the Old Republic

16)Half Life 2

17)Final Fantasy 7

18Doom

19)Master of Orion 2

20)Thief 1&2

21)Deus Ex

22)Freedom Force

23)Gal Civ 2

24) Ulitma Underworld

25)Oblivion (patched with OOO, not vanilla)

Those are just after about 20 seconds of thinking.  I could probably go on.  Sins is great, but come on...you need to narrow your list a bit.

My top 5 based on time played and enjoyment

MOO2

Sins

Civ II & IV

Starfleet Command II

Having been a gamer since pong, top 5 is tough to pin down.

In no particular order:

*Descent (1,2,3)

*Age of Empires: The age of kings

*Red Baron 2 (actually the 3D edition)

*Jedi Knight 2

*and yes, I'd put Sins in this list (just beating out RoN......barely )

Honorable mention:

Rise of Nations, Wing Commander, Knights of the Old Republic, AoE 3, Alien vs. Predator (the original, not avp 2), Prince of Persia, Monkey Island, Pirates (sid's remake),

it's an awful question..

For my point of view, Sins belongs to my top 5 of recent games (it's a hard choice due to high competition).

1. Neverwinter nights 2 (expansion pack included)

2. Mass Effect

3. Crysis (full very high setup in 1920*1200)

4. Sins of a Solar Empire+entrenchment

5. Call of duty 4 (mode hardcore in multiplayer)

After that my classics games favorites :

1. Dune 2

1 bis : Wing commander 3&4 (5 was good but not as good as the 3 and 4), and Privateer 1&2 'the darkening)

3. Baldur's gate, Icewind dale series

4. Dragon quest 8

5. Resident Evil Series (especially Code veronica and the 4th)

6. XWing and Tie Fighter

7. Age of wonders

8. Civilization 1 (the best one..)

9. The Settlers (the 1 from far, even if the last one is near to first)

10. Tekken and Soul Calibur series (all of them..)

My list in no special order.

1. Free Lancer and oldie but goodie still.

2. Sins of a Solar Empire+entrenchment

3. Gal Civ series I and II and expansions

4. Civ last one and expansions

5. Master of Orin II that game rocked probly one of my ulitmate games i played ever. Infact is the game that hooked me on space games in general.
