either Rome Total War or Sins of a Solar Empire

my favorites are France and Sweden.

Whenever i want a challenge i play as Prussia on VH/VH.

either RTR or Roma Surrectum

yeah BI is worth getting, its a good extension to Rome.

Dont get Alexander expansion though it really really sucks

civ 4

or

sins of a solar empire

for the most part i thought this game was superb. However it became repetative and the side missions were mostly boring

i never felt that prototype had especially bad graphics.

but then again i am running a fairly low end system:)

i generally only use 3rd person when i feel like walking around.

Both games are good but i thought prototype was more fun

I completely agree. I especially hate the repetativeness of the game.

About half way through i just gave up because i couldnt stand doing the exact same thing over and over again.
