need a new game - Page 2

lol, I tried Warhammer 40k Dawn of War, but since my days in Starcraft, I haven't discovered a Sci-fi Strategy that I have actually enjoyed.

I play The Sims occasionally, but it's not something I put more than 1-2 hours at a time in to.

Factions is worth buying as it improves on the original Guild Wars a lot.

As far as GW being short, it IS short for an MMORPG; however, no monthly fees! How can ya lose!? Another thing, I hate MMORPG's simply because you have to let them consume your life to ever get far in them. I like playing new games to much to get involved in any of the true-pay-to-play-MMORPG's. Even if I subscribed for a year or something, and played other games when they came out, I'd feel like I was getting left behind by my online buddies in the game, or that I was wasting my money. Besides, Xbox Live Subscription = only $80 a year...I can easily have fun with that.

I have blitzkrieg 1 and i really enjoyed it. My friend used to play in on a 350mhz P2 with 256mb ram and a 32mb video card so any pc out there can play it. I'm thinking of getting blitzkrieg 2.
