Well, depending on what you're after... My background so you can see where I'm coming from: * generally HATE 1st-person shooters as I lose interest VERY quickly * love Age of Empires in ALL its incarnations * enjoyed Command and Conquer series, but not as much as AoE * play Avalon Hill board games whenever I can (but not often enough), especially Advanced Civilisation, Age of Renaissance, History of the World and Kingmaker. Also play Advanced Civilisation on PC (but can't get the bastard to work on my Win2K notebook). * long-term role-playing gamer eg. AD&D, Chill, Call of Cthulhu, Nephilim, Cyberpunk, Traveller (original flat universe version), Ars Magica, Pendragon (with no time to play any more)
So, try these: "Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear", for involved, tactical combat in a 1st-person 3D environment "Rogue Spear: Black Thorn", new add-in to Rogue Spear "Ghost Recon", similar to above. New style of missions/back story all in former USSR "Operation: Flashpoint", relive the Cold War in 1st-person, but get to be soldier, tank driver, helo pilot, etc. ALL in one game!! Cool! "Europa Universalis", European political/military expansion 1472-1772. Long, involved planning and a bastard to master (which I'm NOT), but very cool. You can get demos for all of them at FilePlanet (except Europa Universalis), so you won't end up doing your hard-earned cash.
