Although my most played RTS is Total Annihilation my favourite is Ground
Control. The main reason is that it removes the whole resource/base
management aspects and just concentrates on the tactical gameplay. It
also didn't degenerate into a click-fest.

I coudln't get into TA with its demo. Funny, my next door neighbor
bought me this game for Christmas and I never opened it because of that!

My view is games are better if they know what genre they are and stick
to it. That's why I have a problem with both XCOM:Enemy Unknown and the
Total War series. I just wish they have one core aspect.

I couldn't get into those too.

An interesting one was Field of Glory:II where they ditched the basic
campaign mode from their previous title and instead went with a series
of linked battles where occasionally you had a choice to make.

I don't think I ever played that series. I am not a fan of that genre too.
