A very worthwhile choice. I found it a tad ghoulish, but the case can be made thats essential to the plot. I thought the philisophical stuff was a bit pretentious too, but i appreciate what they were trying to do. Certainly many think its the best RPG of all, and one of the best games of all. I did enjoy it, and found it a worthwile experience. I dont think you can go wrong.
- Europa Universalis and EU 2 (swedish historian Peter Englund said he hadn't had so much fun since the days of Civ 1... 'Nuff said!
)
I would say its the best game ive played apart from civ2, and gives civ2 a run for its money (as we say). But beware, it could well keep you addicted for awhile.
- Anno 1503 - The New World
Having played this, but do have 1602. An enjoyable cross between a citybuilder and an RTS, but relatively slow paced, and not all that violent. I enjoyed it, though its quirky.
- StarCraft (as I said I've played Homeworld: Cataclysm, another RTS in space, which I liked a lot + a collegue wants to kick my butt in MP... Yeah, right!
)
I played SP only, and only got partway through the 1st campaign before i got eu2. I enjoyed it, and of course plenty of people rave about it.
- Master of Orion 2 (a great game that I've played now and then... I really enjoy it except for those damn spies!
)
Well, then, you know what its like.
- Alpha Centauri (tried it a little and liked it; I even have a french version of it?!)
A classic, many say the best TBS, i found the game overly complex, and the story and atmospherics didnt draw me in enough to overcome the learning curve. I did play it several times, and may go back to it, but I did not like it nearly as much as Civ2. Still, if you want a TBS with a deep backstory, philisophical content, and lots of gameplay innovations and depth, you may like it.

Well, and if you are into WW2, HoI2 is a must I'd say.
