Master of Orion is the granddaddy of the genre, brought back to life and updated to accommodate modern sensibilities, swearing by the four Xs in its design ethos- eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. Master of Orion 1 and 2, for instance, were masterpieces in their heyday, and to this day evoke fond memories of space exploration, but how does a remake of a 1993 classic fare 20-odd years later? Revamping old games for modern times certainly isn't easy.
