By use two screens you mean stretch between two? Because plenty of games do that already and many can do three. I'm curious here.

Yeah there was another recent RTS that used two screens.

Anyway, World in Conflict uses the second monitor for a full screen tactical map, which sounds dumb but is actually very useful.

Supreme Commander does that I believe.

I am absolutely in love with World in Conflict. I've played this game more than any other in the last few months. Since the beta's until now with retail, I can't get enough. The funny part, is that I can't STAND RTS games that are suicidally boring. You spend hours building a city and resources, and then fight for 5-10 minutes and then it's over. With this one you concentrate more on tactics and actual war more than building a strong resource for war, which is far more amusing for people like me.

For years my cousin has been badgering me to play games like AOE and AOM, but they were just too boring for me. Hopefully my cousin will grab this game and then we can finally play a game together. All he wants to play are games that I hate.. and games that are 8+years old.

WIC is one game which completely relies on multiplayer teamwork. I still cannot get enough of this game.

How are skirmish battles against AI?

My family and I like to do regular comp stomps.

The multiplayer AI is actually really good...they flank you, trick you, and get you to do things you don't realize...tricky ********.

Have you played Company of Heroes? Almost right from the start you are fighting for supremacy. I LOVE CoH!!!!!!! It's probably my favorite RTS game ever right next to Starcraft. Company of Heroes isn't a game you can simply turtle or build up a base/force then go out and annihilate your opponent. You have to constantly fight for resources and supremacy of the map or you will lose.
