A very good modern military/techno thriller RTS

I have very high hopes for this game after downloading and playing the demo, and I must say I m not disappointed.

Act of War sucks the player into the game with its rendition of a military thriller RTS. The rock, paper, scissors of the units skills an abilities is pretty brutal, but in a good way. Order the wrong unit to advance or attack and u'll probably watch it blown to pieces. The game is graphically impressive with very nice unit and city details. And while some may laugh at the corny acting, I for one found it quite funny and reminds me back to the times of the original C&C series.

I was getting tired of the RTS genre but after playing this game, I had renewed fate that the genre is still going strong.
