A delightful mix of differing RTS playstyles, ranging from pseudo empire-building to downright Zerging. A breath of fresh (old) air.<BR/><BR/>Sword of the Stars:<BR/>Perhaps you've heard of this one, I f you have not, here's the scoop: It's essentialy an old school 4X space strategy game, but minus all the tedious crap. If your into these type of games, I need not say more.<BR/><BR/>Savage 2:<BR/>A relativly new entry into what is most definatly a crowded genre, Savage 2 is a first person shooter that effectivly (to me, at least) blends third person RPG-style gameplay with solid first person action. Or vice-versa, depending on your preference. On top of that, it also throws in a hefty amount of RTS mechanics.
