The BEST PC game for Real-War Strategy on a Global scale has to be SUPERPOWER. Hands down. This is NOT a FPS, nor a RPG either. This is a Reality -Based WW3 Sim, which is played at Americas War Colleges. I know that the younger posters like action games, and that this game is somewhat older, huge (!!), lacks the sophisticated graphics of a 32/64-bit system for platforms such as PS3, XBOX, XBOX360, or the older platforms (SEGA, PS2, et all). However if you want to truely understand Global War in a Modern world then tis game has it. *Warning* This is NOT a game you can play in one evening. I mean you can, but you would lose site of the details and therein lies the fun. It's ALL in there; from ICBM's, to R&D, Hidden Bases, vast financial resources (if you play one of the Superpowers that is-try playing Angola, and see what you get!). A real inventory of real Weapon systems, real time attacks, and a AI that is constantly learning0while you play the game. The game can be played over and over without repeating itself-unless you go Nuke happy in which case the game basically ends the same way each time-Nuclear Winter. Again, I stipulate that this game is NOT for the weak-minded how want to run around and "blow things up" type of gamer. It is for the serious gamer who wants to plan, strategise, develop, field, maneuver, etc., an inordinate amount of Troops, Tanks, Planes, Helicopters, Ships, Subs, Alliances, etc.
Not for the overnite. This game is HUGE!!
