Real-Time Strategy

[Rikachu]

Is there anyone else who absolutely loves these games? I've played many RTS games, and I've loved most of them.

I would really have to say that I love the Starcraft and Age Of Empires games for this genre. I also really like the Command and Conquer games, but I don't have any of them. (They're my brother-in-laws. :P)

So, anyone else who loves some good-old RTS?

I used to be the go to RTS guy at my magazine and as such I kind of burned myself out on the genre somewhat through playing far too many RTS titles for review purposes.

That said I'm not that guy any more and I do occasionally dabble in the genre again of my own free will for once.

The first RTS in some time that has really gripped me is Starcraft 2 which I just can't stop playing.

However my favourite RTS is Battle Realms, followed by Homeworld and Red Alert 2.

I'm more of a turn-based strategy guy at the end of the day.

I love a game underrated, it's called Spellforce, 5 videogames were released already, I have all of them, and I'm about to buy the sixth when it comes out.

I had the pleasure of reviewing the original Spellforce when it was released and gave it a very positive review.

Unfortunately I found the expansions and even the sequel just too much of the same game. Should have left it with just the one entry or have done a lot more to advance the sequel.
