LOL, I have nooooo idea. I think the first was a massive glitch, the next were probably on purpose to be funny.

I would have said to go with Company of Heroes, but I liked Sins too. The thing that really drove me nuts about Sins was the lack of a story, its just a bunch of random missions, and your only objective is to conqueror the map. Good game play, but lack of a single player storyline bothered me.

Galactic Civilization 2 was so addicting it was a major driver in my breakup with my ex.
