I realised I never made a post for Game 45.
45) Dawn of War (PC / 2004 / RTS)
This slot was originally for Dark Crusade, a sort of standalone-expansion hybrid, but this was the game that spawned it, so I suppose the original Dawn of War gets the spot. The campaign isn't terribly long, and only allows you to play as the humans, but it's still highly entertaining. The draw, however, is the multiplayer. It is considerably faster than most multiplayer RTS, and achieves this without abolishing base-building (I am looking at you Dawn of War 2).
The first expansion, Winter Assault, had probably the best campaign of the lot, though the Imperial Guard whom it adds are pretty rubbish. But Dark Crusade's expansion is by far the longest, and allows you to play as any race. It adds maps, but more importantly it adds the Necrons and Tau, two excellent races. I have certainly put over 100 hours into the games if you combine them.
Although there are other RTS higher up on the list, I will controversially say that the multiplayer here is my favourite in any RTS.
