Here’s a preliminary list of the strategy and wargames on display at next week’s E3.
———————————————————————————–
Aggression: Europe 1914 – real time strategy game from Buka Entertainment that covers the years 1914-1945. Battle for Atlantis – fantasy real time strategy game from Play Ten interactive set in pre-classical Greece
CivCity: Rome – Firefly and Firaxis team up on on Roman city builder. Civilization IV: Warlords – The highly anticipated militaristic expansion to last year’s best game. Command and Conquer 3: The Tiberium Wars – highly anticipated sequel to one of the RTS world’s most recognized series.
Field Ops – genre blender (FPS/RTS) set in the war on terror brought to you by Freeze Interactive. Medieval 2: Total War – Creative Assembly goes back to the Dark Ages to maintain their bright future.
Pacific Storm – another World War II game that tries to blend RTS and flight sims. Buka Entertainment. Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War – the demo is already out, so I’m not sure what’s left to show at E3.
Sid Meier’s Railroads – Sid Meier returns to model trains
Spore – Will Wright’s genius made manifest. Again.
Star Trek Legacy – real time tactical space combat in the Star Trek universe
Star Wars: Empire at War Unnamed Expansion – you knew that this was coming
Stronghold Legends – Yet another castle building sim from Firefly with three legendary campaigns.
Supreme Commander – Total Annihiliation is many people’s favorite RTS. This is it’s pseudo-sequel.
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos – you can’t trust screenshots, but if this is half as good as it looks, I may finally appreciate the Warhammer universe.

Bah. I meant to write “next week’s”. I’m an idiot.
