Anyone here played ground control 2. I found that was different enough to be interesting. You don't really have any basebuilding as such, your resources are based on controlling certain points on the map and reinforcements are flown in to landing zones if you control any. Unfortunately I can't quite get it running without stuttering on my pc, but it is good fun nonetheless. I would recommend giving it a go, there's bound to be a demo of it on the net somewhere. it also says you can play the missions in co-op mode, but I have yet to try that so can't say how good a feature it is.

Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth, definately out of the newer games.

As for some of the little bit older ones, go for Age Of Empires 2 + the Conquerors. That is really addictive. I've als heard that it's better in many respects to its sequal, Age of Mythology. Also, Warcraft 3: Frozen throne is fairly good, and Age of Empires 3 is coming out this year.

I suggest you the Warcraft 3 pack ("Warcraft 3 : Reign Of Chaos" and "Warcraft 3 : The Frozen Throne" + A guide for only 50 euros ). You will be really addicted with this pack Be carefull This game is an anti-social life (Or you can play with friends )

Well. . . . when ti coems to RTS there are MANY MANY MANY, to chosoe from
Also depends what type of game you want also.
I'll do a little shortlist of what i enjoy:

If you want to relive Lord of the rings :Battle for Middle Earth
If you want to play a game where you advance through all major ages :Rise of Nations
If you want to play a game where you advance through all major ages and then some: Empire Earth
If you want ancient times :Age of Empires
If you want Medevil times: Age of Empires, Age of Kings
If you want Ancient times with added fiction of gods and mythlogy: Age of Empires, Age of Mythology.
If you want a fun and balanced fictional war rts: C&C Series, (Tiberian Sun is afavourite)
. . . . well i could just go on like this to be honest. Starcraft as people have said is excellent despite of its age.

Also jsut a questiona bout War Craft 3. What is it like? I havent played it but am curious by the amount of support its got.

It is like Starcraft, if you liked Starcraft, then it is sure you will be amazing by Warcraft 3. It is like Starcraft but with better graphics and 4 playables races You can evolve a Hero during the game and he learns some powerfulls aptitudes
