ok guys since we have a IT forum..what better place to post your games playing info than this thread?? ok the current game i am playin is command and conquer generals..and i have been playing medieval total war..
command and comquer is an awesome game cos its using real style tanks and heli's etc..
and medieval is cool coz you can fight in the crusades!! and fight the infidels!!! lol..hahaha..
Some of these role playing/strategy games have got way too complicated for my liking. You have to read an encyclopedia-like manual before you can enjoy the game in some cases. Give me Space Invaders any day
I prefer to play good old-fashioned chess myself. Ive just started using WorldChessNetwork.com which is free. If anyone wants a game online let me know.
man command and conquer generals is a cool game..ok check this..you can play as three factions..US, China, GLA( Al-Qaeda taleban type force)..all of the groups have realistic weapons..none of the weird weapons of the past like laser tanks etc etc..so the americans have comanche helicopters and f-22 raptors, tomohawk missiles, M1A1 tanks(they call them crusader and paladin tanks in the game) ..their wmd is a ION particle cannon..plus you get hummers too..other stuff you get as the yanks is technological stuff like a spy satellite, Uav's,..as you progress from a 1 star general to 5 star you can get a hold of a fuel air bomb, A10 tank buster barrage(3 levels) etcother units they get are rangers, anti tank troops and a crazy commando rambo type guy....and paratroopers(3 levels)
Chinese are all brute force..these guys get 1 aircraft type the J-10(looks more like the mig1.44) americans get three different aircraft..the chinese get a T-class tank..they get a gattling gun tank, flame thrower tank, self propelled howitzer, nuke cannon, a BMP full of soldiers..their WMD is a nuke..plus other upgrades like depleted uranium etc..when you get promoted you get new options like a artillery barrage(3 levels).. you also get hackers who can get you cash etc and disable buildings..and you get an emp weapon dropped from aplane..plus emergency repair option(3 levels)..
the GLA are the most strangest force..they have no need to have any power plants to run their buildings..you get some vintage looking tanks(they look like ww2 shermans but heaviliy upgraded) you get a mobile anti aircraft vehicle, maruder tank which you can upgrade from parts of other blown up tanks, you get a pick up truck with a machine gun in the back..to protect against aircraft you can build stinger nests..and bunker tunnels..as you get promoted you get three levels of ambush troops..these guys appear without warning on any part of your map..also you get an anthrax bomb..oh you also get a chemical tractor that just murders infantry..and a rocket buggy..thats is good at massed rocket barages..you can also get an angry mob..yup..these guys are about 50 people all in a mass that just go crazy and attack buildings etc..yu can arm them with ak 47's..you get an invisible sniper who can help you capture cars and oppositon weapons..plus you get scud misslile launchers..also you can train suicide bombers..wmd of this group is the scud storm..a contraption that fires multiple scud rockets tipped with either explosives or anthrax..
trust me this game is awesome man..ive been playing against the comp as the chinese vs the americans..i played as the americans vs gla first and got creamed but eventually destroyed them..then used the chinese..finished the GLA campaign and the last mission is to gas a western city..dont know how the developers got away with this one..lol
its just for PC at the moment..got it when i went to pakistan from F10/4 in islamabad..wicked game very adictive..im playing the comp on a particular map and he keeps kicking my ass..cant wait to play on the net..lol..should be fun..
also try medieval total war..now that is the ultimate RTS game!!

I wish that game had a multiplayer component that included the turn based kingdom building and diplomacy. (The multiplayer only lets you fight out a single battle). That would be so cool. Especially if it could be set up as an email based turn game and then have battles fought out real time. We could set up everyone on board as a nation and fight it out.
It's pretty awesome, although the graphics are getting a little dated. My friends and I get together to play it on a LAN. We have a great time blasting our way through cities.
