Time for round 2! Getting into the mid-teens now.
16. Company of Heroes
Innovation is one of the most overused terms in this industry. Rarely does it mean anything other than a dreadful bore. Company of Heroes is the exact opposite of a bore. It's dreadfully spectacular. Sure, the multiplayer might have that trademark dose of Relic unbalance and it sacrifices depth for accessibility but goodness gracious if the campaign isn't awesome! A lot of epic real-life battles and the mission variety is awesome.
15.Ōkami
I played this game very recently for the first time. When I finish it I can see it pushing into the top 10. Ōkami is a baffling game. One can consider it an "art" game and right off the bat I should hate it with a passion. It might be an art game but that's part of it's charm. It's a beautiful game in every aspect. I prefer it's graphics to almost every title this gen! Being a huge Hideki Kamiya fanboy, I'm punching myself in the face for not playing this earlier. There's not much to say that others haven't said before butŌkami is a cIassic in every way.
14. Sid Meier's Civilization IV
Civilization IV is one of those games that time literally passes by. It could be 8:30pm at one time and next thing you know it's time for school in the morning! It's just fun to mess around with the games and there's so many ways to win that you choose how you can play. It's the perfect game to ease yourself into the Turn-Based Strategy genre. Very accessible but also very deep with multiple difficulty settings and length of games. Can't wait for Civ V!
13. WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos/Frozen Throne
Simply put, WarCraft III and its expansion are one of the best RTS series ever. Blizzard refined an already near-perfect concept into a perfect one with the sequel to WarCraft II. The game also incorporated several RPG aspects which added a layer of depth. Multiplayer was the key selling point for WarCraft III and custom games were all the rage. Everyone and their mother knows about DoTA. Sadly, I don't forsee Blizzard making WarCraft IV anytime soon. World of WarCraft's story already messed up the canon but a man can dream can't he?
That's it for now! A lot of PC games in this one. :o
