If I've to choose only one, I'd say StarCraft 2.

I plan to get all of them, though Empire will blow the others completely out of the water.

Starcraft 2 and Dawn of War 2. I've yet to see if the campaign if DoW 2 is up to the quality of SC's. Until now, my most awaited is SC2, though I'm playing nonstop the DoW 2 beta. Tales of Valor seems to be another Soulstorm and E:TW won't run in my system, considering I can barely startup M2:TW.

At the very least, I'm going to get Dawn of war 2 and Starcraft 2. I also want Empire: total War, but only if my computer can run it, which I'm led to doubt.

I voted for Dawn of War 2 because I'm MUCH more excited for it than for starcraft 2.

not realy, no.

the strategy part is quite cleary turn based and the battle are real time tactics, not strategy.

so no, it isn't a rts

Empire has lower requirements than DOW2. You should be fine.

Chances are I'm getting all of them, but if I only had to pick one it'd be either DoW2 or SC2.

If that is the case, I'd still go with DoW 2.

Since, only one option to choose - I am going for "Company of Heroes" of course, it's the mother of all RTS. Apart from that, new World in Conflict, DoW II is also on my radar. Starcraft 2 and total war is secondary at this moment.

If CoH is the mother, DoW 2 is the abusive father.

Really? I once downloaded the Medieval 2: Total War demo and it was a slideshow. I hope you're right.

IIRC, Total War is much demanding game than DoW games. I am not talking about turns in TW games, the battles are huge in Total War (after all that's the selling point of the series) and it requires better machines than DoW. My last PC was able to run DoW Dark Crusade easily. But it was very slow at M2, Rome was good though.

I don't think so ... you can think Total War as the Crysis for RTS genre ... very difficult to max out (or even come close to it) especially with big armies

yes, you recall correctly , GS even deducted points from Med 2 : total War because of high system requirements

I'm amazed how any of you can think that the other choices are going to come remotely close to Empire: Total War...

I am looking an empire now and maybe buy Starcraft II. I usually don't bother with resource based rts's but I think I can make an exception to support Blizzard (looking forward to the campaign and skirmish more then the multi).

I'll say Dawn of War 2 is my most anticipated game on the poll (and the one I've preordered), but I will be getting all of them.
