Seen red alert.. didnt impress me... commandos dont think Ive seen it... The biggest thing is I dont want to go spend 10-60 bucks on a game and realize it sucks... IMO

I agree totally. Warcraft2 is my all time fav. I addition to the mentioned AOE, try Civilization and Starwars Rebellion. I have heard rumors that Rebellion2 is coming out. Another one I look forward to is the up comming release of Master of Orion 3. I never played 2, but 1 was pretty good for its time.

For a quick "fix" there is a site http://www.mking.com that has a free demo of a game called Swarm that is pretty good.

I've had starcraft and broodwars for a while, but still haven't grown tired of it...Same with commandos-behind enemy lines and commandos -beyond the call of duty..
Which brings me to the question: Has anyone had their hands on Commandos 2 yet? it's not available here yet, but I can't wait. Hope they added some extra features.
-Diver should be able to pull bodies under water and thus hiding them
- More interaction with vehicles
- More emphasis on strategy rather than simple things that drive you mad because they need millisecond perfect timing

Just my wishlist

They have announced (unofficially) a Starcraft 2. That'll be sweet. I wanna see what War3 looks like before I consider buying it.
