Sins of a Solar Empire

Holy crap this game is fun. It's a space-based RTS, and the scale is absolutely huge. The maps range from just a few planets, to over a hundred in multiple solar systems.

The micro-management is insane, and it is one of the most difficult RTS's I've ever played. You will have hundreds of ships to manage in multiple fleets, dozens of planets to manage.. so good. Not only that, but it looks good. You can zoom all the way in on a huge fleet war and watch it all happen.

DS and I have been addicted like crazy.. we're in the middle of a 50-some planet game against 4 computer people and we played for about 3 hours and had to save and take a break because we weren't even close to victory.

The game takes a while to get the hang of and learn good tactics on defending and attacking, but man it is worth every bit of it.

Edit: PC, by the way
