Name that game Strategy Game!

[Ian]

I'm not the biggest gamer out there, and I do like HL2/FarCry etc... but I don't read many gaming mags anymore.

I'm trying to find a new strategy game to keep me occupied, something like C&C Zero Hour but new I've tried Rome : Total War, and it was OK but didn't float my boat.

Are there any new strategy games you can recommend?

Ground Control 2 is better than C&C Genrals/Zero hour in my opinion, definatly worth a rip.

I'm taking a look at their main site now to find out a bit more, cheers Reefy!

Hmm.. Raje.... that has nothing to do with the topic
on a lighter note, i am REALLY looking forward to the New Legend of Zelda!!! for any one who saw the GC tech demo of Link fightinh Ganon back when the cube was released, Wind Waker didnt cut it. Cant wait!

back to Ian, I highly suggest Rise of Nations (along with expansion, which i have to get) A really really good game (i think it is), check it out.

I love total annihilation, but I've played it too much Red Alert (original) I haven't tried in years though so I will give it a go

Alf, I've been recommended RoN before, but I haven't tried that yet - I'll see if I can get a demo from the net!

Hmmmmm Ian if your looking for soemthing like C&C theres a old school game Starcraft something in that nature.. And theres another game i reccomend kinda older also its called Sudden Strike theres a expansion too. But you dont build your units you just get reinforments.

 

[ChristopherP]

The best bit is building bases and defending them

Buy a copy of Red Alert 2 from eBay or Amazon - i think they are going for something stupid like £2.50 - dirt cheap, and RA2 is an awesome game - i just got hooked to it the other day!

Thanks I'll add those to the list too! I'm going to go to blockbusters at the weekend as they have a good used game section - many oldies are only a couple of quid!

Chris, I've got RA2 but I've played it too much Playing on Aftermath now though and thats good fun, although scrolls too fast on my PC.
