I have Rome and like it, but yeah it's pretty old. Looking for something new and with awesome graphics.

J. Falcon · 10-18-2009, 06:21 PM

Anyone plat Sins of a Solar Empire? How good is it?

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life · 10-18-2009, 06:38 PM

dig up whatever the latest command and conquer is for pc. never had a c&c let me down.

World in Conflict is a year or so old, but the graphics and gameplay are pretty awesome, I still play it pretty much everynight.

It's not your typical RTS where you build a base and stuff. In WiC, you just drop units and start taking control of the map, smashing all who oppose you!

Viewfinder · 10-18-2009, 11:17 PM

Supreme Commander is generally considered to be one of the best recent RTS games, though I've not played it myself.

I like that one, too. Before that I was a huge Age of Empires III fan. Very fun to play even on single player campaigns.

Tom Clancy's Endwar was pretty cool. A lot of people complained that it was too simple but I liked it. You can only see the map from the viewpoint of your actual units so it adds to the stress when you are fighting instead of just being able to look down on everything like in most RTS games. The action starts right away, there is no mining or building up for the first 30 minutes.

Has a cool voice command so it's fun to say (Air strike on Hostile Six - Deploy Gunships - Unit 1 secure Alpha) even though you sound like a total dork if anyone else is in earshot.

I only played it on the console but I'd assume the PC version is the same.

There are no tech trees or anything like that so if you like that sort of complication, don't get it.

I still play AOE2 on my netbook regularly on long travels.

PR_Glen · 10-19-2009, 12:05 PM

the knights of the old republic games were pretty sweet, if you're in to star wars anyway...

Klen · 10-19-2009, 12:08 PM

Warcraft II :=)

Meeper · 10-19-2009, 12:16 PM

haha so very true. I actually played the beta back at the last blizzcon, looks pretty solid so far.

Fletch XXX · 10-19-2009, 01:08 PM

What he said. Order of preference:

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath (expansion)

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: uprising (expansion)

A good diversion, and still winnable if you are a casual RTS player.

WebairGerard · 10-19-2009, 01:49 PM

starcraft2 is taking forever! Command & Conquer is always reliable.

WebairMetz · 10-19-2009, 03:50 PM

starcraft2 for sure if they would ever release the damn game
