GameSpy has published their exclusive review with Stardock’s Brian Clair (Yarlen) about the upcoming Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion!

GameSpy: So you're dividing the existing three factions -- the TEC, the Advent, and the Vasari -- into a Loyalist and a Rebel faction each. How is playing as a Rebel faction going to differ from playing as a Loyalist faction?

Brian Clair: Well, it depends on which race you play. The TEC Loyalists are very defensive. If you're a gamer who likes to turtle, they're probably the best suited for you. They've been designed with that in mind. The TEC Rebels are very aggressive, so if you're a player who likes to go out, doesn't turtle at all, moves very quickly from one target to the next, they would fit you the best.
