The World in Conflict game is currently the highest-rated real-time strategy game of the year, according to information gathered by GameRankings.com.

It's a good game. But I found myself bored with multi after just a couple days. I think I got burned out during the beta.

But I'm also playing so many other games right now I may not be giving it a fair shake.

WiC FTW!

Not bad, I love the game, MP has me hooked. Not many games did that to me as of late.

I really enjoyed the SP demo, but the MP did nothing for me. I always just ended up getting yelled at by my teammates, telling me I sucked, and to GTFO, so yeah, I stopped playing it.

Too bad, because that was the first strategy game I had played in a while that I actually enjoyed.
