Alexander (2004)
Genres:Strategy, Real Time Strategy (RTS)
Themes:Historical, Warfare
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Alexander is an RTS based on the movie of the same same, and the real-life Alexander the Great. The game follows the same general path as the movie, and includes media straight from the film. Present in the game are Greek, Persian, Indian and Egyptian forces, with a campaign for each. The hybrid 2D/3D engine (2D units, 3D terrain - also used in Cossacks 2: Napoleonic Wars) allows for a very large number of troops on the field. This is used to good effect, as battles can easily contain hundreds of units. Finally, multiplayer and skirmish levels are available, and the soundtrack (of the game and the movie) is by the composer Vangelis.Show more

My best friend and i used to play this as children. I remember the campaign being absolutely fantastic, and having some surprisingly good voice acting. The different factions (Macedon, Persia, and India i think) had fun and noticable differences, and the game was intuitive to play. The ability to create formations of troops gave the game a much smoother feeling than the usual RTS at the time. While grouping units is not a unique attribute at all, it always just felt much smoother in Alexander than EE or AoE 2 personally.
While i might still have a copy on a disk somewhere, i have no idea how to get something like this to work on a modern system. So being able to play it again from GOG and just remember the nostalgia makes this a must purchase if it was available.

Enemy Territory: Quake WarsEnemy Territory: Quake Wars is a first-person shooter video game developed by Splash Damage and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The prequel to Quake II, Quake Wars is set in the same science fiction universe as Quake II and Quake 4, with a minimal back-story serving as a prequel to Quake II. It is the second multiplayer-focused game in the Quake series after Quake III Arena.
Quake Wars features similar gameplay to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, but with the addition of controllable vehicles and aircraft as well as multiple AI deployables, asymmetric teams, much larger maps and the option of computer-controlled bot opponents. Unlike the previous Enemy Territory games, Quake Wars is a commercial release rather than a free download.
