T&P Review (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/riseofnationsthrone/review.html)

I purposely took a long break from playing RON since I knew this was coming out, can't wait to get it.

Strategy games are not my usual cup of tea but I've read nothing but good things about RoN and it looks like Big Huge Games did it justice with this EP. Kinda like BIS and BioWare did with The Throne of Bhaal EP for the series conclusion of their epic AD&D masterpiece BG2: SoA.

It's good to know that there are still a few solid PC game developers who place quality, integrity and their original fanbase above quick, easy cross-platform bucks and pressure from greedy publisher beancounters.

Cheers, Terry

I'm not a big RTS and/or strategy fan either - but find RON one of the most addicting, relaxing, and enjoyable games I've played...really the only RTS game I need.

I see Best Buy has RON & the Expansion on sale for $25 each...I'll be all over that tonight or tomorrow...the enhanced conquer the world campaign sounds excellent...although I am happy just setting up and playing custom skirmish modes all day.

I want to go pick this game up. When I was checking the website I saw they are located around baltimore, md. I may go down and see if I can snag a tour some day.
