best strategy game

[blound]

I am not a very big gamer, but lately it has been coming back to me. The games that interest me the most are ones that require alot of strategy/planning/thinking. Since I have been out of gaming so long I am not sure whats good anymore and was hoping someone could recommend a really good PC strategy game. Not trying to start a flame war over this, just some titles of good games that I can investigate.

thanks

well no such thing as a "best" of anything, all just opinions so here is what i think

if you haven't played Age of Empires yet then you should, it's one of my favorite strategy games - AoE III came out last year, much better graphics than the 2nd version

also Civilization IV Came out last year - I have it and played it and it's extremely fun - even reviewed it in the Game Reviews section

just two I've played extensively to recommend to you - others include starcraft, and diablo

Why not try the Command and Conquer series? C&C 3 is now out and I think Red Alert 3 is coming out sometime soon.

I'm remember my father play a gane called Civilization when I was a little kid, that game was really popular or it's still popular thought. Try that game before but didn't understand anything so I quit.

The C&C series sold quite a lot of copies and I heard a lot of good reviews. I should give it a try sometime.

You could also try StarCraft, I heard it became an official sport in Korea O_O.

Age of Empires, Fire Emblem, they fit that kind of bill.

Ahh, Red Alert, the game that hooked me on gaming. It was pretty much the.. 1st game I ever got on the PC, my cousin gave it to me to play, and man was it worth it, such a good game.

EDIT: Didn't realize I got off-topic but.. Try C&C, great series, great games. Try Red Alert.

I'm going to Paris and then I'm going to try Wrath of the lich king and Star Craft 2 when the company Blizzard is coming. :)

Command and Conquer 2 is my favourite Strategy game. Because it's the only 1 I've played in a while. World in Conflict is supposed to be very good too though.

Oh yeah. I loved Rome too. But my computer couldn't handle the game when I took over most of the map. I still enjoyed the big battles and I used the money cheat quite a bit too.

Have you seen the new one. It's going to be much bigger than Rome. You can sail from Europe to America in it.

[Jjjet1]

yeah medieval 2 i was just playing it. unless there's a new one. but you can't sail from there to there you play four different ones. americas britannia crusades and teutonic

I'd have to say my favorites are Fire Emblem and Advanced Wars. I recommend the GBA Fire Emblems over the Gamecube and Wii games, but they're still good.

[IceCold]

My favourite is Supreme Commander. I don't play many strategy games becase I don't have the time for them but I do play Supreme Commander because it's so good.

[Noli]

starcraft the one and only :)

[El3mentGamer]

right now warcraft 3 but when Starcraft 2 comes out it'll prolly be the best.

i spoke to 2 different people about warcraft 3 today lol - one hated it the other still plays it

i had the game years ago but i lost it sadly during one of my moves along with a few other games

[glenofimaal]

i really like the fire emblem games

especially fire emblem radiant dawn

Strategy, I'm not sure about, because I don't like them as much.

Thinking games, however, I do play. Metroid is a thinking game, believe it or not. But, it isn't on the computer. My friend says that the command and conquer games are fun, though.

[the pker omg]

I gotta go with Civ IV, god that game is fun for everyone for hours on end!
