EU3 is certainly not going to win in the world of Gamespot. That whole site is about praising and rewarding graphics. They do appreciate good gameplay if it happens to appear -- but the absence of it in a game is not a dealbreaker for them. A great graphics engine with mediocre gameplay still has a good chance of winning an award. The converse, however -- not so much.

They just want us to vote for EU3 so they can stick a nice shiny sticker when they re-release it. :D

Or perhaps it just takes a certain kind of person to appreciate a complex historical strategy game, the kind of person that isn't a majority in almost any demographic.

I voted for EU3, but I think it's wrong to combine TB- with RTS-games. They are two different genres of strategy that are difficult to compare. However, seeing that some games, such as Rise of Nations, have tried to combine the two genres (altough the TB-feature in RoN is pseudo), I'm not surprised they put it all together. Perhaps they will also throw a RPG-game next year...

While I was dissapointed of both Supreme Commander and World in Conflict too, I was far less dissapointed on them than on EU3. They both felt far more sophisticated and working.

Then again, I find none of the five spectacularily good game or anything.
