Hi groovers,
This is coming at a rather fruitless time with Halo 3 twenty...three days away, but I picked up a new iMac the other day and am looking for some games to push its power. The titles I was enjoying on the previous machine (white G3 iBook) finally feel dated.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm spending too much time thinking about other forms of entertainment.
I'm digging the original. It's got a battle map that is the closest thing to Myth's on the current market, although you command units of men rather than individual soldiers. It's got a campaign map that is Civ-Light-ish. The only downside for the expansion is you have to buy the original and they switched to SecuRom 7 copy protection for Kingdoms.
Also it's got a huge mod community with lots of high quality mods already out, and even more in production. If you want a taste of the game you can probably buy the previous iteration (Rome: Total War) for pretty cheap even with it's expansions, although it isn't nearly as pretty.
Grr, Rome. I've been waiting patiently for a Mac port so I could play that game for years. Guess I have no excuse not to try it now. Just as soon as I find a copy of XP or whatever, anyway.
I can already feel the hours slipping away from me.
