    Question Decent PC games ?

    Im after ideas for a few games me and my friends can play together. Along the lines of C&C when it comes to strategy, we bought Dawn of War 2 yesterday but its a bit, well, meh - were more of the base building kind rather than all out attack.

    So yeah any suggestions would be appreciated, not just limited to RTS either...

    Games we've already got:
    BF2
    Red Alert 3 and a few others
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Yeah DoW2 is a let down compared to the first one. I would say get DoW 1 and the addons. You get the bases, the resources and the larger units to play with

    Re: Decent PC games ?

    Well since ya into C&C types of games i would recommend Supreme commander and forged alliance, nothing even comes close to match it in terms of sheer scale and battlefield.

    Others:

    Heroes 3/4/5
    Warzone 2100 http://wz2100.net/
    Savage 1/2 http://savage2.com/en/main.php
    Natural Selection http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/
    Titan Quest and immortal throne (if ya like hack and slash/rpg)
    Sins of a solar empire (space combat on a epic scale)

    The list goes on.....

    Second the SupCom/FA recommendation, especially if you're into base/army building!

    Re: Decent PC games ?

    Company of Heroes is a pretty good RTS if you prefer World War II to Space Marines (and cheap now), or there's World in Conflict for more modern tank fights but that's more Real Time Tactical, not so much base building.
