Sins of a solar Empire

Strategy games are one of the more intellectual pursuits in the gaming world; as the genre is usually dissociated with the aim and shoot gameplay of titles like Quake, Gears of War, and other FPS games, or the more childlike and innocent gameplay afforded to us by things like Super Mario Galaxy and the Sonic the Hedgehog line, which are there to show the gaming world that you can save the world without guns or grenades or even a sexy female sidekick. Yes, for the more highbrow of the gaming community, strategy games are definitely the place to go, and Sins of a Solar Empire is one of the most highbrow of the lot...so brainy it doesn’t need a plot.

Dynasty Warriors Six

Dynasty Warriors 6, the most recent incarnation of the series, is quite impressive graphically, especially in terms of how various components of the in-game environment have been constructed. It’s quite possibly the best looking Dynasty Warriors game I’ve ever seen. Ambient lighting, realistic water effects, well-crafted buildings that look like they should be where they are, all combine together to make this title well able to hold it’s own against this generation’s heaviest hitters.

Kingdom Under Fire

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom is a hack ’n slash with RPG elements. The description on the box is inaccurate: it is not an "Action RPG." The core gameplay mirrors that of your garden variety hack ’n slash: a very linear path marked by large hordes of enemies to slice or shoot your way through, and plenty of button mashing.
