Wow, EA is just churning out games. I personally am burned out on RTS games. I think its a dead genre ...
You may be burned out on it, but it's hardly a dead genre. In fact, it's easily the most creatively vibrant genre on the PC these days. There's a bunch of AAA RTS titles due to come out in 2006 (BfME2, Rise of Legends, Empire at War, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos, etc.), and not one of them looks much like any of the others. Lots of different developers trying lots of very different ideas = the opposite of "dead genre." It's going to be a great year for RTS fans.
I'm really curious to see how the War of the Ring campaign game works in Battle for Middle Earth 2. I like what I've seen so far in the beta. And yeah, the game is gorgeous.
