Steam not just for adventure games - Empire At War Gold now available 26 May, 2010 / 8 comments

LucasArts continues re-releasing their old classics on Steam today with the best Star Wars strategy game - Empire At War, plus expansion pack Forces of Corruption. You can buy it here. While it's not an adventure game, it's still one of the best Star Wars games of recent years.

Perhaps less good is the price. £14.99/$19.99 for a 4-year-old game? Even with the expansion and the Steam convenience, that's a bit of a rip in my opinion.

    Keep the re-releases coming.



    Agreed, that's the thing I'm most happy about.

    $20 for a game and its expansion strikes me as reasonable, actually.



    Considering the excellent F.E.A.R. was also just released along with its TWO expansion packs for less than half that price, and that you can get it at Amazon for about $3, it's not that reasonable.

    I loved Force Commander, despite most reviewers hating it because they didn't learn to control the camera. It was a much better strategy game than the later Galactic Battlegrounds.

    Never played Rebellion/Supremacy, but I know it has a good following.

    I just don't have the time to commit to playing an RTS battle these days, so will probably give Empire at War a miss.

    As with all things on Steam, wait for the eventual sale.

    Here in Germany the Gold Edition is only 10 Euros (around $12) in retail, so, no thanks.
