Ground Control

Ground Control ms one of the first RTS games that well and truly washed its hands of resource management and instead opted to concentrate on individual units, fantastic gameplay and creative scenarios. Put simply it's a race between two political parties - the good Crayven Corporation and the evil Order Ot The New Dawn - to colonise an alien planet and wipe each other out. Gorgeous graphics and fantastic attention to detail make this a strategy player's dream come true.
