i played ruse and thought it was actually pretty good, i expected a PC port of a console RTS but was surprised when it became really fun. only bad part is the camera where when you zoom in it automaticly goes level with the ground at a 90 degree angle. not game breaking, just mildly annoying.
Where the hell is Supreme Commander Forged Alliance or Total Annihilation?
You can not have an RTS poll without either one (preferably both) of those games. Forged Alliance is one of the pinnacles of RTS games (Unlike Starcraft, Supreme Commander is a real RTS. Starcraft is a good game, but it's real time tactics).
The only game that comes close to SupCom IMO is RUSE. Even then, SupCom's unit and building command system is vastly superior. I really want to see a game with a command/order system like SupCom's. It was amazing.

Yeah, but that's what crtl + m3 is for. It does get a little annoying, but it makes great screenshots.LWS666 said:
Seeing as I'm an RTSer, who have played all on the list to death, I will say that my favorite gotta be Dawn of War 2. Starcraft (both 1 and 2) are brilliant, but macro-management never appealed to me. I prefer the more tactical gameplay from Company of Heroes and Dawn of War 2. That being said, if you're a person who REALLY likes tactical gameplay.. Give R.U.S.E. a try. Good game, overall.
Edit: My reasons are probably because macro-managing is boring in my opinion, I much rather prefer micro-managing. IT TAKEZ SKILLZ DAT KILLZ!

Age of Empires 3, Rome Total War and C&C Generals are the only RTS's I've played, so I went Total War. I loved that game, plus you can recreate 300!
Other: Warcraft 2&3 and Brutal Legend (Yahtzee called it [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1044-Brutal-Legend] so I'm counting it).
I'd also like to add the Heroes of Might and Magic series (even though they're not "technically" RTS). I loved those games.

Spore.
It becomes a RTS after the tribe game.
It has a rather good realtionship AI, much better than civilzations's "only your ally untill you become a hinderence" ghandi.

Gee, I dunno. I really like 5 on that list 
Ima go with Company of Heroes, not to say that Starcraft, DoW, Age of Empires or Total War are bad.

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, with Sins of a Solar Empire a close second. I've never really been fond of micro...
