Strategy in war? Who needs strategy in war? That's useless busy
work, just ask Donald Rumsfeld. But if you just happen to be
a stickler for micro-management and details but crave action,
then you're going to love Company of Heroes which re-ignites
our passion for WW2 strategy games and overhauls a dead in the
water genre. It's accessible to even those who haven't played
an RTS before and just like in real war, there's rarely a dull
moment. We hope Relic is already hard at work on CoH2! |

Who would have ever thought these strange characters conjured
up by some middle-aged fedora-wearing nerd would be so insanely
popular decades later? Well I would have, but I'm far smarter
than you. If you're an LOTR fan and have wanted to drive your
redneck friend's pickup truck over the more recent hack n'
slash LOTR games based on the movies, Battle for Middle-earth
II will most likely be something you're interested in, especially
if you enjoyed the original. Well, duh.

If you play your cards right, Solid Snake will save the world.
If you don't, everyone will be playing 52 pick up...with their
own body parts! Metal Gear Ac!d 2 continues the card-combat
functionality of the original but adds more cards, more action
and a bizarre 3D mode which allows you to spy on scantily-clad
Japanese women. Uh, yeah... While the gameplay isn't as accessible
as MGS: Portable Ops, it's still easy enough for anyone to
get into. Highly recommended for those who want something
almost completely different.

If we were Kings, we'd probably boss everyone around. Okay,
replace 'probably' with 'definitely'. Sorry, we're just that
way. In Age of Empires: The Age of Kings you can do just that
- take control of your empire and make everyone do what you
want! If you succeed, your serf pals will have to refrain
from calling you 'ass-breath' or suffer the repercussions.
If you fail, well, let's just say failure ain't an option
when you want to be king of the world! Now someone bring me
a big ol' turkey leg, cuz dictating all of this rhetoric to
my slave has made me hungry!

If you consider yourself a Star Wars rebel, now you're in
luck. Play as the Rebels in your bid to stop the evil Empire
from taking over the galaxy or play as the Empire and crush
the rebellion at its heart. Take the fight into space or battle
on the ground on a variety of planets. During key battles
players can even call in the big guns like Obi Wan or Darth
and put their powers to good use. Just remember not to offer
Darth a bite of your peanut butter sandwich when you're on the
front lines with him. He's got a wicked nasty peanut allergy
deal going on. Don't say we didn't warn you.
