Empire Earth

You like Empire Earth.

You know, I'd forgotten how cool this game was until I bought Age of Empires 3, played it a few times, and realized it was boring by comparison. It's the variety of EE and its modern units that make it so much fun. Dropping nukes, running silent and deep in subs, popping up over the treeline in a cobra gunship, and strafing hapless infantry with an A-10 - what's not to love? Then there are the robotic units from the nano age - still not sure how to use most of them - and the timeless joy of plague-dealing priests. No, the only RTS game I've played that measures up well against EE is actually one of the earliest: Starcraft. It's what, a decade old, or close to it? And it still kicks giant fuckin' ass, from the game play to the graphics. Now when are they going to finally get their shit together and get SC2 (www.starcraft2.com) on store shelves?
