    I've never played any of the Starcraft games....what is it like? Is it a space ship game like Descent? I loved Descent and Descent II.

    Star Craft is pure RTS goodness.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Ahhhh, RTS = not for me. I just can't get into those kind of games. I just want to run around and shoot ppl. I'm still playing Bad Company 2, I like it, but they need to release more maps.

    Beat SC2 last night. Yep, def seen better. Uninstalled and installed Supreme Commander 2. Weak story as well, but they do something right.... "let you play an RTS". I am one of those campers who likes to collect and build. Fend off attacks and rushes and commit to an all out forward blitz once I am good and ready. This game lets me do that, heh.

    You want the most solid RTS ever created? Play Company of Heroes. One of those "on the edge" games that is simply beautiful if your rig can handle it.

    Best RTS on the planet! Bart,the Company of Heroes COMPETE PACK is $50 on Steam. That's a lot of good gaming!

    Yeah, I like it, but it does have some issues. The ported interface has a long way to go on PC, and they DESPERATELY need to put out WAY more maps. The same 4 maps get REALLY old. I had MAJOR problem with the game and my ATI card, but they eventually got resolved for the most part. I still have a few minor problems with video. That said, the graphics are phenomenal.

    Yeah, I was just talking to my coworked about the future of PC games and we both kinda think the market there is going to die out.

    I'll be honest, if I could hook up a keyboard and mouse to my console and play FPSs with the same feel, I would probably never buy a PC game again, simply because it would cut down on all the hacking and it would level the hardware playing field. But there will always be idiots using lag switches and other "hacks".
