Empires: Dawn of the Modern World

One of the reasons I found GOG

Note: This review is for the CD version of the game, as I will be waiting a little while to see if this comes on sale before buying it. Trying to find this game is one of the reasons I stumbled on gog.com in the first place; I never found it but did find lots of others. This game had an excellent campaign and provided hours of fun for me growing up...until I lost the first installation disc. Then not so much. Easily the best part of the game is the vastly different civilizations you can choose from; each with not only unique units but unique gameplay due to their advantages. For example, if you're Russia or China you ought to spam units and obliterate your enemy with a blitz; if you're germany or korea you want to build a large army nice and slowly and eventually level everything that comes your way. Personally for me, there was nothing quite as fun as sacrificing atomic bombers to take out my enemy's forests and then slowly whittling them down over time. In short, while it's probably not the best game I've ever played, it's certainly one of the most fun! If you like empire earth or age of empires, it's very much like that except with much more varied civs!
