Alright, here's a bigger, better list. Please specify which in the series you mean if you vote for a collection and let us know if there are any missing!

TA since it requires the most tactics and recource management to win, and ofcorse the kick ass multiplayer which is still hapining.

im glad to see more games on ths poll, i would be picky and mention a few more but, that would just be plain annoying.

World in Conflict is apparently RTT, not completely RTS. S**t, I can't please everyone! Well I can't fit anymore in the pole anyway, unless more of them are grouped together, so that's it!

Total Annihilation all the way. Accessible game play, great balance between the two factions, fantastic visuals, strategic depth, insane fun. Even the unit limitations can't hurt the game.

Supreme Commander is mighty similar, but just doesn't quite achieve the same magic that TA did. The fact that there is a Total Annihilation mod in the works for Supreme Commander means that when it is finished, my addiction will once again come to the forefront.

RTT is basically RTS without money and buildings. If you'd look at the definition of RTT, it says it's RTS in a way.

Heck... if we keep dividing games into categories that way, Metal Gear Solid would have its own category because it's a Tactical Espionage Action game, and not exactly an Action game?

Oh right..well...I dunno. No more room on the list anyhoo. Maybe I'll make another poll next month. I didn't know whether to put the SimCity type games on the list, and Worms too, because they all kinda come under Strategy.

I wanna give that Supreme Commander and Sins of a Solar Empire a go, they look cool. And I guess I should try StarCraft too. Is it like Warcraft 2?
