Never played one of those in my life

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I personally like Sins. You start with a planet and then expand while building up a fleet and defenses. Each planet can support a small amount of orbital platforms which can be research stations, factories, or defense platforms.
With the expansions they added more trade and diplomacy as well as space stations. Each capital ship and space station can be upgraded, capital ships level up to gain powers and space stations can have factories, armor, weapons, or other things added to them. I have fun with it and have had games lasting 9+ hours with computers as the other players. Its a good thing you can save and then walk away a bit before picking up the match at another time.

One thing that never made sense to me was that DoW2 didn't have a straight up free for all. As in, I want to get 7 or so of my buddies and just have a massive battle without having to worry about capturing anything. Our group has always enjoyed the eradicate your enemy approach as opposed to a rather boring hold the objective.
This may have changed, but in the time since it's come out I've glanced every now in then in hopes that it finally added what should be a standard game mode, but I've yet to see it. Even a mod of it.

I know bashing DoOW2 is more important than paying attention, but it has had annihilation mode since its launch As in, since the launch of DoW2 vanilla. Which was close to three years ago.

Speaking of Dawn of War, they're all on sale on Steam today. Also, if you play against a human player for 30 minutes on some snow levels in Retribution you get one of those achievements that can give you coupons or coal. Each coal gives you a chance to win a drawing on Jan.2.
Some of the coupons are alright, I got a 25% off of all Bethesda games and 33% off of all Valve games. You can also trade coupons to other people so share the love, if someone really wants a new THQ game and you have a coupon you aren't going to use trade it for something you may want.
Stronghold 3 is also on sale as well as mother fething Majesty.

Mel, what are you talking about. I've played the game since launch, and just to make sure I just checked it again. There is NO option for free for all annihilation in that game, and there never has been. You have team annihilation, and you have free for all that requires you to capture points, but there has never been nor currently is a mode that lets you and 7 people just go at each other without some wonky objective or limitation. If I am wrong I would very much like for you to prove this to me, because the reason that game isn't popular in my circle is because multiplayer currently sucks for people who just want a massive battle with everyone.

I have always thought DoW: DC is stupidly overrated. It's definitely worse than Soulstorm after the bugs have been patched...

I was looking at Stronghold 3. Looks neat but 47/100 score? Ouch 
(Yes, I know video game ratings are subjective)
Anyways, besides big games I try to avoid buying any more steam games
After watching my brother rack in dozens of indie games for cheap from those humble bundles, I'm afraid I'm just wasting money on games I may not like (for example I bought Revenge of the titans on sale for $5. Not a bad game, then it got on the Humble Bundle and my bro got it for less than $4 along with the rest of the bundle)

The Stronghold series has always been good, but it doesn't suit some peoples' styles so it gets bashed.

Every time I think of stronghold I think of the video some guy showed when he reviewed it. Talked about how he had some bowmen in watch towers to protect against wolves and the like. Well a pack of said wolves show up, and proceed to run animation straight up the ladder to the top of the watch tower and slaughter the archers. I imagine it was a bug that was fixed. Still, I would be rather frustrated to see it happen.
I've loved the stronghold series (although never could get LAN on the second one to work, ever), so I'm sure I'll give this one a try soon enough.
