What PC game should I get?

Going to Game later as I have a voucher. What game should I get? I'm in the mood for strategy, and I was thinking that new star wars one, but the reviews are awful, so considering battle for middle earth 2. The reason I'm going to game is because I have a £10 voucher, and have done since my 18th birthday (23rd sep last year ). I hope its still valid, because they have cards instead of vouchers these days... either way I'll just kick up a fuss and say its go no expiry date printed on it, and demand to see the manager, and I'm in no doubt they'll cough up
So, what game?

not in the mood for a fps
my mate has it and looks like he's enjoying it! make your own army etc
Thats what i was considering, actually, the only downisde to that being the original i thought was far too easy and got repetetive. You just got some horses and ran aroud the map running everything over and then you'd won.
oops lol thats what i get for not reading post properly!! but yeah, if you dont want to risk this game being the same as the original then go for something else
Especially AT-AT's... DESTROY!
It is NOT an RTS. But it is the best thing ever.
And it is getting super-delayed. I don't mind, as long as it is good when finished!
How about C&C: Generals then?
Meh... only ofr multiplayer. Single Player is ruined by the stupidity of AI...
im waiting till the 20th as ive got oblivion preordered, this is just to pass the time
Fffft... RTS's can be a "bit" hard... I tell you, the Zero HOur games I have won against the odds! Multiplayer.. obvious.. good story time children!
I was playing as China Tank General, agaisnt a good mate. He was GLA Demo General... we went mad! I mhad many nukes, he had many Scuds. So, I nuked the bastard, mine were ready first! Haha... but lo! Half hjis base rebuilt because of those cunting tunnels... and his defense was miles away from main base! I struggled, launched two more, but my base was lost! Gone! So, I sent a dozer out the middle of the map, and built me a command centre, so my abilities were still good... and of course, a war factory! Cue lots of Battlemasters being built. So, I made a few buildings here and there and some stashed dozers, and promtly sent lots of tanks to him, as a last resort. He had no units (they were long nuked, I wasn't letting 50 odd quad cannons live!) and his base was no more! Haha, sucker!
only game thats been worthy of buying in a while (half life 2 being the other exception)
ive played two strategy games online: c&c tib sun, which was immense fun and aoe 2 - however, i only played that once and on that occasion i was rushed within a minute by about 40 of those fully upgraded french paladins
it's very good, and free
I think I might do at some point. At the moment though, need to play some more battle for middle earth 2. Im hoping if I play enough strategy games by the time oblivion comes out ill be dying for an rpg. I get bored of games very quickly, which can sometimes be expensive
The problem is once you find out how to do it then it loses its appeal. For this reason, a lot of story based games are fun as the designers make it harder and can change the type of skills you have to apply. Some other games are just more of the same but harder. However, you can only really play a linear rpg once . Thats why I like TES as they are open ended story based games
I brought AOE III and World of Warcraft on the same day, on 14.Dec.2005.
Imperial Glory (think Medieval Total War with muskets) & Cossacks 2 (think Cossacks mixed with Total War).
I just completed the good campaign may have a gander at imperial glory, played the demo and thought the game mechanics were a bit messed up which spoiled a good game (for example, units were too awkward to move around and set up). Cossacks 2, haven't tried, have tried the first one in the series though and thought it was ok but got repetitive quickly just build build build and set a waypoint on the enemy base and you win.
