Sins of a Solar Empire

Watch The Trailer Release Date: Feb 4, 2008 Genre: Real Time Strategy Theme: Sci-Fi Rating: T for Teen Game Modes: Single player, multiplayer If you're looking for a relatively slower paced real time strategy experience Sins of a Solar Empire is a perfect match. This space based real time strategy contains plenty of action coupled with slower paced strategizing. There are endless possibilities in the dozens of planets, galaxies and asteroids available to conquer. No two games are alike due to all the different factions to choose from each with it's own array of ships, technology, and upgrades. More Info | Review | Demo | Screenshots

7. Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos
Blizzard
Release Date: Jul 3, 2002 Theme: Fantasy Rating: T for Teen Game Modes: Single player, multiplayer Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos was a classic from the first day of it's release, back in 2002, which also makes it the oldest game on my list. The success of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos put the World of Warcraft wheels in motion which along with the internet has transformed computer games. While Warcraft III is a far cry from the graphics/gameplay of WoW, it still has plenty of life left. The Warcraft III Battle Chest includes both the full game and expansions. There's also the Dota custom campaign that has been so successful that Dota 2 will be released as a stand alone game in 2011. More Info | Screenshots | Demo

Age of Empires III
Microsoft
Release Date: Oct 18, 2005 Theme: Historical Rating: T for Teen Game Modes: Single player, multiplayer The oldest game on my list at a little over five years old, Age of Empires III is starting to look a little dated, but that doesn't mean that the game play and significance of the game and series is and if you hope into an online game you'll still see plenty of people looking for a match. In Age of Empires III, you control one of eight European colonial powers fighting for a foothold in the New World. Watch for the new Age of Empires Online coming in 2011.
