"Company of Heroes: Gold Edition"
Good news!! Germany is defeated. The Falaise Pocket is closed. The war in Europe is over!
I wrote good things about "Company of Heroes" when I bought it but ended up taking a 6 to 9 month break. That is not uncommon for me as my gaming moods change but recently, I started playing CoH again.
And I was hooked again.
Relic is just about the only company that makes RTS games I like although I do think I cheat. I have to pause the game constantly and I reload a lot. Needless to say, I havent tried multiplayer yet which is sure to be different although I have heard that people love it.
Two signs of a great game are that you enjoy it and it never ends. When I first reviewed the game I had only played about 1/3 of it although I thought I was almost finished. Picking it up again, it took me weeks to finally finish it. Weeks of pleasure and about one mission a night.
When I finished, I immediately wanted to purchase the expansion pack and play more. Now that the game has been out for a while, the gold edition includes the original game and the expansion for just $30. For RTS goodness, that is about as good as it gets. The only thing that makes it better is that you can get it on Steam and not worry about the CD or DRM.
