I loved Civiliation. Poplous and Sim City 200 are also faves. I like cheese.

...

Rise of Nations, Rome Total War, Age of Mythology, Homeworld 2, Axis and Allies...

Yeah, looks like blizzard is the only one that can get it right.

Remnant isn't smart enough to be able to differentiate between the two types of strategy games.

Turn Based Strategy.

e.g. Civilization, the Heroes of Might and Magic Games.

I have no idea why I wasn't able to figure that out, I don't think my brain is working today.

Rome Totla War: okay but not that good.
Age of Mythology: Took a decent franchise and put all this religious crap on it. I want polictics ,not god
Homeworld 2: Overrated,just overrated
Axis and Allies: Um pick a game funner than the original STarcraft if you want to tell me how its better.

If Blizzard announced Starcraft 3 today you would be excited and you know it.

I'd want to play Starcraft 2 first though.

This news is about 4 weeks old now. Firaxis is working on the next one. Do a google search next time.

Not that it matters ... because once the Xenon is released ALL OF PC GAMING IS IRRELEVANT. ($1 to jarrod.)

As long as Firaxis is still on it then it's all good.

RTS weak lately?!

Dawn of War, Kohan 2, Rome Total War, and Battle for Middle Earth (the weakest of the pack!) in the last several months. Drugs. Less of them mang.
