I love strategy pc games only. So my favorites are strategy of course, but not all the trash you are paying in.

Ever since I first learned about Empire Total War  at the German Games Convention in 2007, it's been at the top of my most-wanted list. Creative Assembly's Total War is one of the most compelling historical strategy series in the PC catalog, so it's fair to say that my expectations were high. We've been playing the final version for over a week now and can say that, with the exception of a few rough spots, this game has succeeded in creating an immensely engaging experience that captures the grand national strategies and battlefield tactics of the 18th century. And though it refines several elements of the Total War formula, it also offers up several new surprises.

 

If you've been out of the loop altogether on this one, Empire combines the thoughtful turn-based grand strategy of 4X games with the urgent intensity of real time historical tactical games. Players alternate between the roles of national leader and battlefield commander. One moment you'll be setting tax policies, paying for dock construction and negotiating alliances. The next moment, you'll be on the field of battle, maneuvering your infantry lines and ordering massive cavalry charges. Empire focuses that action on Europe and the two colonial theaters of North America and India in the 18th century.
