Agree, for me Rome: Total War has been the best game I have ever played. IL-2 comes in at a close 2nd. For fun probably Eidos' Praetorians (online) has been the best.

That expansion looks great. Was hoping for a September release date.

And the Netherlands is always a common military point to invade. Apparently most of their citizens are too tired to fight due to late-night gaming, eh Joyce, Dutch, Dr. Ed . . .

TactS, this is why we play with them, to make them tired and to invade them, remember?

Silently, in the night, while they're sleeping, I could sneak in and take James with me to Poland.....

Well Macca it is TacticalMatt's birthday today (he's 11!), and I took him out early on Saturday to see what he wanted for his gift. No surprise we ended up looking at video games

.

The lad was considering several possible titles, including Battlefield 2, Warcraft III Battle Chest and Imperial Glory. After careful consideration, no "glory" as he (and me

) are once again fighting bad guys/things in the world of Warcraft.

Of course this series was my first real RTS experience (Warcraft I), and while I prefer more realistic units (what's this magic nonsense anyway?), the peons look strangely familiar to me. I like the mix of RTS/RPG, though probably enjoyed WCII a bit more. Nonetheless, nice graphics and story. But why doesn't AA/AF seem to work for this 2002 Game of the Year title?

Anyway, the Battlechest was only @$40 Canadian, which included the expansion pack (Frozen Throne) and two Bradley strategy books (well, for what they're worth - Bradley's books generally suck).

So, it looks like no Imperial Glory. In hindsight I wished I had picked it up instead of Silent Hunter III, which while excellent for its genre I seldom play.

Next will probably be the expansion for Rome this fall. I will keep an eye on Rowan's BOB II however. I hope it's not that good, or I will be tempted to pick up that Vector Expansion thingy too.

Then there's COD 2, and I always pickup a hockey title for the XBox in the fall too.

Tact - "too many games - not enough time yet again" - S!

Hey Tac,

I think you said you have the new "World of Warcraft". Do you know if there is enough off-line game there to keep you busy for a while or is it mostly an online-here's-some-more-of-my-money kinna thing?

Good point. Language can be tricky - when I said "world of Warcraft" I meant back into the series of Warcraft, which hopefully doesn't confuse anyone with the newest game from Blizzard called "World of Warcraft." Now that's not confusing I hope.

As for their online RPG (World of Warcraft), Matthew asked about it but when I realized there is an ongoing service fee to play online it was returned promptly to the shelf.

As for Warcraft III+Frozen Throne Expansion, they are offline campaigns with free online skirmish mode at Battle.net. I stress the word "free".

Not into paying for a game, only to pay again and again to play it.

Besides, he plays Runescape for free online. That should keep him happy. If not, he can always go shoot some :FI: mates in the Platoon!

TactS!

Sacrilege

You will burn in your pit for such words

If you like Warcraft then you should check out Warlords Battlecry 3 my 2nd favorite game

IMO much better than Warcraft but similar theme

I still play it all the time and the developers have released the source code to a group of community modders. I've just joined the mod team and it's a really cool game that is not very well known. Plus, I bet I'd kick yer arse in it
