prakaa: Also, any opinions on RUSE or Anno? I'm going to get one or the other...
RUSE is great WWII strategy game, that is kind of traditionalist in a build units and tankspam the enemy sort of way*, and with rock-paper-scissors-ish unit balance, but it adds a twist or two with the wonderful zoom function, and the ruse abilites. Fooling the enemy with a diversion ruse power, and then hitting them in the rear with real armor and sneaky infantry is soo priceless. ^.^ But then again you can try it too as its one of the few games that still has a
demo on Steam. The graphics are great, and i can play it on high settings with an outdated PC(E7300+HD4850)
Btw its a Steamworks game, so its drm-ed in a way(its probably a big plus for Steam fans though), but at least its not UbiDRM. :D
Sadly i cant comments on Anno as im not into trading sims, other than it had patching issues on Steam, and was removed from the storefront.
* Actually you cant really tankspam because of SC2 style hard counters, normally you need a blanced unit stack with a larger offensive force.
