Company of Heroes vs Empire Earth
Company of Heroes
Company of Heroes is the rare few World War-themed games that managed to let you experience the intensity of war and the heroic sacrifices that had to be made through the eyes of a soldier. You can play the role of a brave Allied lieutenant leading your own squad of soldiers in the game's single-player campaign or you can join the multiplayer battle between Axis and Allies (up to 8 players) by choosing a team to play as. The game also features destructible environments (you can reshape the battlefield as needed), some historical accounts about the war you'll be fighting in, and a unique strategic gameplay.Company of Heroes is one of those few rare games that World War 2 buffs would really enjoy, but even if you're not one of them, you can still enjoy the brilliant gameplay that this game has to offer.
Empire Earth
Empire Earth lets you take the reins of a newborn civilization and nurture it so it'd grow into a formidable empire that can eventually dominate the globe. But of course, your rise to power will not go unchallenged, so expect the need to flex your military muscles from time to time or employ some diplomatic action to ensure the expansion of your empire. As you go through various eras until the final, hypothetical "nano era", you'll need to invest in upgrading your technology both for your normal citizens and for your military just so your empire can keep up with the times and have both military might and economic strength growing in tandem. Multiplayer is also available but only through LAN.Empire Earth may not have been as popular as Age of Empires, but it is still a pretty renowned real-time strategy game back in the day. If you love the genre, you'll definitely enjoy playing this game.
