Which Game Should I choose?

I cant decide between AOE 3, Civ. 4, or Rome: Total War.

I like these types of strategy games and have never playe either, but from whatr I have read... AOE 3 and Rome: Total War you more or less build an empire and fight other societies. Also with Rome: Total War you can play online, unlike any of the others, correct?

And Civ. 4 is more like Sim City 4?

-- Which is the better of the 3?

I played the demo for Rome: Total war, it's pretty fun if you're into historical battles.

I can't seem to get Civ. 3 demo downloaded right, but I the reviews for Civ. 4 are very very good.

I haven't gotten AOE III demo to work either, but it's a very popular game.

I am pretty sure AOE III and Rome: Total war are online games, not sure about Civ. 4.

If you still can't decide, you should try out those demos. I Hope you have more luck than me.

You could try the demos and see which you like best. Personally I like AOE III.

Played Civ 4 recently.... it's very good and interesting, and a large step up from Civ 3

I heard civ 4 has so many bugs in it and that it can ultimately damage your system because it will effect the way your pc will run...

Anyone here info on this?

I have played the total war series for a while now, and Rome total war is very addicting. Definatley worth the money.
