The Real-Time Strategy genre of video games continues to grow each and every year. There was a time when RTS games where the only reason you would ever own a PC that could run games. Classic titles like the Command & Conquer series, Dune, Z, KKND, StarCraft and many more would give you the tools to build powerful armies and crush anyone who stands in your way. It was just as fulfilling and fun to spam hundreds of tanks and mow down enemies, as it was to plan your attack carefully while coming up with cunning tactics for a precision attack. These classic titles and many others paved the way for the standard that modern RTS games would eventually meet.
Those looking for some old school RTS action would do well to pick up Act of Aggression.
Baden of WGB: "Despite the fact that I’ve never been very good at them, often outclassed in the competitive multiplayer side of things, my love affair with real-time strategy games has been a long one that began with what remains one of my favorite titles of all time, Total Annihilation. From there it was the Command & Conquer games, Dune, Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, the Homeworld games and many, many more. And then just a few years ago Eugen released the wonderful R.U.S.E., a horribly overlooked gem that proved you could bring a strategy game to console without having to simplify it to an insulting degree. Now Eugen are back with Act of Aggression, a follow-up of sorts to their previous Act of War and a self-confessed attempt to recapture the golden days of RTS with a very Command & Conquer: Generals feel."

Act of Aggression is one of those titles that will no doubt appeal to dedicated fans of real-time strategy (RTS). It is incredibly polished and does most things quite well. However, its lack of fresh ideas gives it an overwhelming impression of too-comfortable familiarity. The end result is a solid if uninspired game that is fun but also somewhat fleeting.
Sounds like an interesting RTS game worth trying out. Certainly will give it a try soon.
