My blog is about space strategy gaming in general and today I wrote an article about the 4x genre, the 4x definition and links to good lists of 4x games. Care to comment? (here or inside te blog) [Edited by - greenpower on August 11, 2009 4:45:32 AM]

eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate

A lot of strategy games can be placed under 4X.

A really good 4X is Space Empires. I only played the demo version, but it drew me in quite quickly.

Some of my classmates used to play OGame during lectures earlier this year. I wonder how the lecturer felt that half the class thought OGame more appealing than Genetic Algorithms. [grin]

Sins of a Solar Empire is a recent 4X strategy game that I find tons of fun to play with other people. One of the best features that few games implement these days is saving of multiplayer games, so that you can have epic week-long campaigns without actually sitting there for a week straight [grin]
