Not a bad article, although the list contains two turn-based strategy games, which are _not_ RTS titles.

3-4-53930d ago

Decent list.

Total War: Rome 2 is about to be #1 on that list though.

Axe993930d ago

Aye, tbh list was a bit nostalgia-heavy (which is legitimate, no rules against that) but the later total wars were better put together.

_QQ_3931d ago

Number 1 Should be Starcraft1, Sc2 would be Number 2.

amuadiv3930d ago

Warcraft 2 was my all time favorite.
I remember many days spent skipping school and playing multilayer on HEAT.net

Firan3930d ago

Anyone remember the legendary Dune II? Such a great game and I wish they would make a new Dune RTS.

Axe993930d ago

Too right, half the games on that list, including the 'crafts', owe most of their gameplay mechanics to the venerable Dune 2. It's a bit of an ommission, actually, given the list is so nostalgia-based.

MrTrololo3930d ago

Command & Conquer Zero Hour is my most favourite strategy games next to warcraft 3. Wish blizzard would make warcraft 4

10 Popular Banned Video Games and Why They Were Banned

Xfire writes "As you'll soon learn, while it is true that some popular banned video games do at least warrant the censorship or ban they received, some games were banned from sale for some pretty weird and radical reasons."

gold_drake1135d ago

i dont get censorship in games.
they have warnings on the boxings, age ratings, drug use warnings, strong language and sexual themes and many more.

its not so much the government's job to censor, as it is for parents to make sure their kids dont play those games. and those who are easily disturbed or sensitive, should stay away from them.
i do understand that some things might be triggering for some but.... why do ppl suck so much lol.

but being in debt before 18 or 21 is highly acceptable somehow ha

seriously.

Highrevz1135d ago

I’m glad there’s not much censorship in the UK towards video games. Reading bully was banned confused me as i don’t recall that at all.

Nintendo has always been bashed for its censorship (green blood in MK controversy) and then they gave us some dark moments like Crocomire’s death in Super Metroid and even let us strangle people to death with the Wii controller. It’s like they have tried at times but there image is very much Cemented as family friendly so I don’t think they will ever be able to stray far from that.

I remember my mom coming home from work with a copy of Thrill Kill and saying “I heard this games banned so I got you a copy” 🙌
Honestly the game wasn’t even that bad, there’s far worse content in books and movies.

Fist4achin1135d ago

Thrill kill at the time was edgy, but there has been much worse. Fun times with Imp the pimp!

darklaw1135d ago

honestly, its up to the parents and the players on what kind of experience they want to have, not the publisher.

Fans remaster Command and Conquer Generals using Red Alert 3 Engine

From GameWatcher: "While we're hoping that EA will give Tiberium Sun and Red Alert 2 the remaster treatment soon, a few fans have been working on a modding project for the past 12 years to remaster Command and Conquer Generals using the Red Alert 3 engine.

The good news is that Beta 0.1 for the Command And Conquer: Generals Evolution mod has been released today, offering up a total conversion of Red Alert 3 that will hopefully bring plenty of C&C Generals nostalgia for strategy gamers."

Loved generals and ZH (despite being a buggy unbalanced mess online). Wish EA would make a sequel and not the F2P microtransaction garbage they tried to push on us before.

TheColbertinator1165d ago

EA is so lost on their best franchises and wonder why they receive little praise

Orchard1165d ago

Couldn’t have summed it up better myself.

“GG, Gratz”: Starcraft II Wings Of Liberty 10th Anniversary

Love, betrayal, and insectoid alien thingies that infest you until you beg for death—StarCraft has everything that gives lasting power to any space opera. Since Blizzard’s seminal real-time strategy game debuted in 1998, it has spawned an intense cult following, launched a reinvention of the global esports scene, and redefined the RTS genre all at the same time. Ten years after the sequel, TechRaptor takes a look at the legacy StarCraft II has forged.

i think these articles are misleading. wings of liberty is literally dead. so is heart of the swarm. Blizzard moved everything over to Legacy of the Void. if someone can let me know how to play wings of liberty or HOTS, let me know.
