I'm dabbling in Vanguard at the moment in my spare snatches of free time. Well - that, and fervently waiting for that mythical Dawn of War: Dark Crusade balance patch that's been about 6 months in coming and still isn't out.....
Yeah, I love both games, or at least - I love the potential they have, but there are painful bugs and balance issues that really detract from them - Although Dawn of war is still fun to play with friends, just not competitively (and the replays are worth watching by themselves just for cinematic entertainment value, grab some popcorn!)

I just picked up the new command & conquer - it's got much of the flavor and cool cutscene feel of the original, but also the pitfalls of the original; poor unit control, completely imbalanced factions, etc - great fun for single player though!

Yeah, that was my impression just from playing the free demo, so I never bought it. I find the unit controls in C&C Generals very slick and easy to use, and trying to play C&C 3 after this felt really clunky.Lupinedreams wrote:poor unit control
Checked store shelves again today and still nothing that even remotely peaks my interest. Games just seem to have gone completely down the pan these days!
