WOW! That's surprising! I have HTC Vive VR set, so I registered on the site and got the game without hesitation!

Well finally got the Making History Second World War, pretty good game. But I had to do some correction though, wasn't setup right on the 1936 campaign for Japan. Infact USA wasn't importing coals to Japan, it was Oils and Steels. Still going over some details and want to test it before releasing that mod I just did.

Lego: Lord of the Rings is free on Humble Bundle. I think this is the second Lego game to be free - unfortunately missed the first.

Steam is having heart palpitations today. Lots of lag, lots of 502 faults.

Lots of people taking advantage of the Winter Sale. My recommendation: wait for few days, buy the games you want, download & install after the sale.

Otherwise I haven't played decent RTS in a while. Ground Control, Total Annihilation, and Dawn of War (original & DLC) are my favourites. Is Syrian Warfare up to the par?

Syrian Warfare and Graviteam Mius-Front, although both RTS are quite different then what your mentioning you like. There´s no base building, resources etc. These are more realistic oriented RTS, a couple of shots gets kills etc. There more like Combat Mission then anything else, not even Men at War is similar.

Here´s a tough mission with alot going on and alot to keep an eye on...

For the Syrian Warfare base game at circa €3 there´s isnt much to loose.

But If what your looking for is base building and the typical RTS then I would buy Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance...

That´s IF you don´t own it already!

If you want the same action but up to date, then go for Ashes of Singularity: Escalation...
