a rpg or rts game i should buy with 20 bucks?

yeah i have a craving to buy a game right now.. i haven't played rts in a LONG LONG LONG LONG time but i'm interested in it, and i always like rpg games so yeah... i also need to buy it with 20 bucks... don't want it to be a M game so really the only catch is 20 dollars ... feel free to post =]a rpg or rts game i should buy with 20 bucks?
Believe there's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War gold edition for 20 bucks. Has the game and it's first expansion. Think it's rated M, big deal. a rpg or rts game i should buy with 20 bucks?
I'd suggest Spellforce 2. It'sboth an RTS and an RPG, and quite a good mix of the two :) You can play it single player or multiplayer with skirmish mode or a cooperative campaign. Plusyou can find a copy foraround $20.It is rated M, but you'll find it to be closer to a T rated game than the usual Mature title.
Ahhh, someone else who likes Spellforce :D I highly suggest Spellforce one with its 2 expansion packs more than spellforce two however these games contain starforce which you may or may not want on your computer. Another suggestion of mixing the two elements would be Heroes of Might and Magic V. Good turn based RTS with RPG elements mixed in. I would also suggest Fallout 1 %26 2 because they are one of the best RPGs of all time but kinda old. Baldur's Gate 1 %26 2 + expansions are also great two but finding all four for 20$ might be a hard task. I hear planescape torment has a great story for an RPG as well so could look into that one.
You'll probably have to do a little sleuthing to track this one down, but you should definitely check out Perimeter. It's a nifty RTS that utilizes some pretty cool and innovative concepts. I recommended it to a friend of mine who was really into WH40K: Dawn of War, and he absolutely loved it. I'm pretty sure this game missed most people's radar, but it's a pretty rad little title that shouldn't set you back more than a few bucks these days.

Battle for Middle Earth mayby?
rts:starcraft+broodwar expansion. rome total war+barbarian invasion. stronghold crusader. age of empires 2+conquerers expansion. all these are excellent older rts games which you can find for very cheap if not in stores then online through amazon, or eb games, etc. each of the aforementioned games is easily worth every penny.rpg:morrowind+expansions and mods, baldur's gate 1 and 2+expansions, neverwinter nights diamond pack (includes all expansions plus popular mods).baldur's gate and neverwinter nights are both from the same series and thus are very similar play style, but both are extremely well done and excellent games in their own ways. morrowind and its expansions are great games and very cheap now that they are older. again, all these games i mentioned are great games.i can tell you more about these specific titles if you want, or you should definitely check out the gamespot reviews of the games. they are all amazing games and you will not be disappointed in any of them.

Sure its innovative, but units are mere cannon fodder and you rely more on base expansion than anything else.. I have to agree with the previous reviewer about lack of documentation.. and agree with the GS review about only hard core Perimeter players playing this game.. It isn't for newbies or the casual RTS gamer. I'm not about to go through forums and translate from Russian only to play the game.. that being said I give it a FAIR score of 6. Gameplay is okay, a bit freaking, but so was Darwinia when I first played. The game gripped me for the first 10hrs or so.. but it felt like a chore thereafter. Sound, as with the GS review.. nothing mind blowing.. Graphics are okay.. but I base more on gameplay than on graphics alone. The game is pretty stable and runs very well, no graphical glitches on a 8800 GTS (which is still a new card, and is bound to have game glitching) Value: worth 20 bucks? If you like to grind through the game, or have played the previous game. I do have to say it is a new twist on the genre.
i agree with all the previous statements for a good rts, just wanna add, if u like outerspace type of rts, try Hegemonia or Homeworld 2. Both are great rts, but with the outerspace thing goin for them. If ur not into em, then def go Spellforce2 or Paraworld, or Dawn of War series or C%26C series or Starcraft series....lol...too many too list...or Perimeter(i found it kinda kewl), or Dragonshard or .....
with 20 bucks? starcraft battlechest for sure if u havent played it yet.
