First off, you are calling me son !! I have seen your other posts (including on threads started by me). I am old enough to be your dad !

If you found Civ IV boring, then, shall we say, we probably have drastically different tastes ! But then again, we both like games like "The Longest Journey" and from whatever I hear of "Company of Heroes", I am sure to like it.

Chances are - you will like Civ IV if play it properly. Want to play with me sometime - send me an e-mail on sanjay_111@hotmail.com. Since we both are in Cal, I can show what an immensely enjoyable game Civ IV is.

cheers

Hey sanjay i agree with you CIV 4 is the best game stratgy game out there, i mean not ever game recives 9.4 from gamespot

by the way you should go & buy C&C 3 , its single player campaing is really long & enjoyable , while many people say company of heroes is better than C&C 3 , i kinda disagree because its campaing is kinda short (14 missions) & multiplayers lags badly even on a 512 k connection , not to say relic multiplayer servers suck.... but if you still want to try company of heroes first, i would be happy to tell you some good mods to enchnce the game life.

also you should try supreme commander , it also a good game but do try the games i mentioned above before trying this game;

Have a nice day.

Hey guys I don't see games like Command and conquer:generals and Zero hour.They are some of the best RTS game I ever played.

 

[RCuber]

Commandos: BEL
Commandos: BCD
Commandos II: Men of courage
Commandos III: Destination Berlin.

Thats all

C&C3:Tiberium wars is something i am looking forward to. In Forum mall (Bangalore) it costs about 999/-.
Among others, I would say that Age of Empires:The Conquerors Expansion is the best game I have ever played for the longest period of time......4 years so far, and still not bored out of it.
Regarding Civ4, I wonder how guys play it. I agree I didnt go with the documents as there is so much to read first than play I agree the concept is very good but again turn based game makes it kinda wait and think sort of game. No doubt many rate it very high.

Strategy as in business strategy???? The go for railroad tycoon II platinum edition. It rocks. My favorite game.

 

[sanjay_111]

Looks like C&C 3 and Company of Heroes are getting the best reviews. There is another one that I have seen - just launched about a week back - "World in Conflict". It seems kind of different. There is no resource gathering and building. You just get some units and complete the mission with them. The scenrio is modern times.. Have half a mind to download demo and try it out if my computer can play it. Some of you might want to do the same.

[entrana]

command and conquer 3 and company of heroes is a must have

 

[sanjay_111]

I am amazed none of you named Starcraft. Has anyone played this old game ?! If not, rest assured, if you ever liked any RTS, you will love it !

 

[QwertyManiac]

StarCraft is legendary but many haven't played it I guess. Its far too old now to remember

 

[adithyagenius]

For mutiplayer - starcraft
For single player - warcraft 3, age of mythology and C&C series in descending order of addiction.
