Fair enough each to there own, I've never actually played SCII, might check it out actually 

If you do, i'd suggest going for the complete pack, as SCII came out with Wings of Liberty back in 2010, Heart of the Swarm expansion in 2013 and legacy of the Void in 2015.

All 3 are story rich and Legacy even features john de lancie (Star Trek, MLP etc).



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

C&C was a good series, but I always liked Westwood's own and genre-defining Dune II (predecessor of C&C), Blizzard's WarCraft 1-3 and Ensemble's AoE I&II more than any of the C&C games.

C&C Red Alert, along with Diablo & Warcraft were like the high points of PC gaming for me. And someone just mentioned Dune, I remember struggling with that game on the Genesis - so good, but using a D-pad instead of a mouse sucked harder than anything.

It all went downhill with Generals. Good riddance I say.

Now where is my Warlords Battlecry 4 again?

Yeah the good old Westwood days!
I recently bought the boxed PC game of C&C1 on ebay, just for memorys sake. Loved that game.

I've never played any of the C&C games, though I'd like the play the first one. I really like this song:

U wouldnt like it.  No asien/manga chicks, buster swords or other BS. Just good old western policy parody.

Besides its an Real-time strategy game with lot of thinking!

"The C&C franchise, along with Warcraft and Starcraft, shaped the identity of RTS games during the '90s"

I find the lack of AoE in this sentence disturbing.

After Generals perhaps, but Generals itself was a great game .
