Well, simple question. Which should I buy (first)?

Killzone 3? I enjoyed 1, and am currently playing through 2. I've heard great things about 3.

Or;

Company of Heroes: Anthology? Never played CoH, but I'm attracted to the series, being a War History fan and whatnot. I also greatly enjoyed the Dawn of War Series, so the whole RTS thing is right up my street.

I'm 50/50. Killzone looks awesome, but CoH makes my History-senses tingle.

Which to choose? Over to you.

I'd go for KZ3 It's definitely on my list for after Dragon Age 2, hopefully I can get it used and save a little.

Basically:

Killzone 3 is looking to be one of the 'killer apps' of this year. It's looking good, and hopefully is a nice clean wrap-up for the series. But it seems like again, a rental campaign

Company of Heroes, however...
It's a fun series of games, with campaigns for pretty much all the "important" bits of the European theater. The Skirmish mode and maps are also quite nice to play through 'what if...' scenarios.

And in terms of thinking of it as a RTS: it's very much not like Dawn of War 1. It's more...'between genres' I guess.

It blends some of the old fashioned RTS action with the way it was portrayed in DOW2.

Killzone 3 unless you are really wanting to play a RTS.

Killzone 3... definitely not a wrap-up to the series by any means.

I'm leaning towards Killzone, after watching a bunch more gameplay vids.

But, bleh, what a dilemma.
