I know right? Thank God they didn't actually pick a good game!

I love strategy games but I was completely put off by this one. Recycled maps, repetitive combat, buggy, and I don't like the goofy, over-sized weapons that the soldiers carry.

Sure. Tropico 4 is entertaining but it gets repetitive. It's a rehash of 3 but with prettier graphics. Anno 2070 is $20 on Steam today!

The fantastic Batman games are what give me faith in this.

I guess Warner Bros is better than EA or Activision. I hate to say this, but I would rather see Ubisoft purchase THQ's assets than those two companies. I really hope that the Company of Heroes, Warhammer 40k, and Saint's Row franchises don't get fucked.

Gods and Kings made that game super addicting for me. And there are tons of great mods for it on Steam. I'm in school like you and I eventually ended up logging 300 hours on it. You may also like Anno 2070, it's more complicated with a learning curve and doesn't have much combat but it's still a blast.
