1. "Empires & Allies"
2. "World of Tanks"
3."HISTORY Egypt: Engineering an Empire"
4. "Civilization World"
I used to enjoy playing Civilization but as the interface became more cartoon, it became less playable.
I would prefer a simple game system that plays quickly.
The Civilization games were some of the biggest time-sinks ever crated. Hours could pass before you realized just how long you had been playing. You just kept thinking ‘one more turn, then I’ll quit for the night/morning.’

Been around a long time...but the latest two incarnations are:
Harpoon Commanders Edition (latest dirivitive of the original Haproon Classic)
Harpoon Advanced Naval Warfare (latest dirivitive of Haproon III)
Both are bundeled in package called:
It's a technical game, but also a lot of fun and I would recommend it for anyone who is serious about naval warfare. These products allow you to operate at the individual vessel level all the way to Theater wide engagements. Many, many sceanrios, plus a scenario editor for each, and a data base editor to allow you to develop and input weapons systems either that are new, or on the drawing boards. I used it in my books series:
I used Harpoon to model many of the naval engagements there.
The Harpoon classic edition was also used by the Naval War College to train officers because it was so realistic and well developed.
World of Tanks is crazy popular for a freeware game! Some of my corpmates from EVE played that in their free time.
Me personally, I’m a HUGE Battlefield fan, and BF3 is going to be SICK!
BFBC2 blew my mind. BF3 is going to atomize my mind into red slush. It’s just amazing.

In the 70’s Avalon Hill’s “Jutland” got me started on strategy games. I actually prefer older PC games than the latest thing, Alpha Centauri and Age of Empires are still a lot of fun.
