Strategy Games

[Boss Llama]

The folks over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun have posted a new one of those "best of all time" type lists, in this case for strategy games. The list is, in my opinion, pretty good. It's subjective of course, and is missing some things I would consider blindingly obvious, or opts to promote a given volume in a series over another I might prefer, but all in all, they've done their homework, and have included a great many good suggestions from all different corners of "strategy" gaming.

There is an additional useful feature, which is part of why I like this version of the article - they include a link for every game (if possible) to the place you can buy it and play it today! A few of the oldest or most obscure are not readily available, but the vast majority can be had from GOG, Steam, or the publisher themselves. Definitely a good list if you're looking to lighten your wallet and get some quality out of it.

Thanks for posting, quite an interesting collection of games.

This is always one of those things where I'm like WTF, why is that on there? Then I see some of my favorite games in top 5 and go yeah!!! ... but yeah, good formatting on each game, but once again, like Alizee mentioned, very subjective. There are a couple games that completely changed the gaming industry that aren't on there.
