Question of the Week: “What is your favorite strategy game?”
The undeniable rumor, as expected, has come to be true and Microsoft’s Major Nelson has revealed September 5th as the day the Xbox 360 shall drop in price. Although not surprising, this is really the first good price drop for the 360 hardware which does not involve phasing out an old product line.
My favorite strategy game is Total Annihilation so many units were released for that game. Skirmishes were insane, with tons of units blasting away at each other from air, land and sky.
And yes, I backed Planetary Annihilation.
