Warcraft gives me a really mixed feelings. Second was in my books the best by far. It was fun to poke the builders and hear the different responses (and eventually see them explode

). When the third arrived, I tried to like it and ended up trying it also online. That totally ruined my experience. I got my ass handed so bad. Same thing happened with SC series.
But Westwood games are totally different story. I still have the cardboard box of Red Alert, including the soundtrack. That sound track is really amazing, still gives me the creeps. Playing RA with my friend with RS-232 serial cable. Oh my.
Also Generals & Zero Hour was a really big deal for me. But after that, RTS games went out of my mind for a long time. When CoH came out (I still have that cardboard box as well, I think it includes Dawn of War also), I played it a lot. But then again FPS games took over and I didn't really play vCoH when it was released in steam or so. But now I've played quite steadily CoH2 since it arrived. Still play it as my main game.
I'm also checking for other potential games. So far my findings are either: Grey Goo (have to monitor that for a while is it staying for good), Blitzkrieg 3 (no experience of the series so far) or Act of Aggression. I think the last one would suit my purposes best.
Also it might be that I will return for FPS genre.

you never know.
