in my opinion, starcraft and starcraft2 are the two best space RTS games out there right now, and for a space rpg, i would suggest EVE ONLINE to anyone, i believe there is a 30-day trial, but for the full experience, i would suggest paying for full membership, which is around $35 every two months.

I stated no MMO's. I'm looking for something with a story, and for the most part, it is much easier to find a good story in an RPG rather than an MMO

Another thing. I don't like scary stuff, so if any of the games are really scary, I won't want to play them. But I think the Mass effect 2 and Dark Orbit seem like the top two options right now.

It's a fun game. It's worth 5 dollars.

Pros:

Beautiful scenery

Beautiful Sounds and Soundtrack

It's a nice challenge that doesn't just involve combat

Cons:

Gets repetitive

It isn't as fun unless you bring friends along

Characters aren't customizable

You know this thread made me realize that there arn't that many rpgs that have a sci-fi setting. Either that or I'm not looking hard enoughcontaminated

I'm having trouble finding it as well.

OK, starcraft II, em, not bad choose, but i don't like it ...i will choose warcraft III

Why warcraft III? Isn't that fantasy.

I heard that Warhammer 40k Dawn of War II is kind of like an RPG. How so?

looking into it

Also, which of the above games has a demo? I like trying the game before buying it because I've been disppointed in the past.

Sins gets crossed off the list. I want a story, and I just found out that there is no campaign. That's why I don't play Civ either.

There is the X series.

While not a good story per se, it has a great setting, and an immersive universe. Its kinda like a space simulator (minus the simulator part :P) where you command a ship like in Freelancer or Freespace.

Its a large and complicated game where you build up to basically a galactic empire through trading, fighting, and building.

Also, not a RTS, but there is Galactic Civilization II, basicaly like Civilization but in space, and a very good game.

Do you have a link to the X series page on GS? I can't find it.

And I'm open to RTS, but would probably still want to buy an RPG type.

Thanks.

The reason why I gave that window of time is because the older games are harder to find. (I don't use steam)

But yeah. It sucks that most games being released are fantasy. I can't find a single steampunk game that's considered fun.
