MODERATORS
I know the second is the groundbreaking one, but I always had a soft spot for this one.
And while Dune 2 laid much of the initial groundwork for early real-time strategy games, I highly advise anyone from current times who is interested to play Dune 2000 instead. If you ask me, the original Command and Conquer (same developers, Westwood) is the actual genesis of the modern RTS, and Dune 2000 is built on the Command and Conquer engine and is this significantly less clunky and irritating to actually play.
And it's got John Rhys-Davies in the cutscenes. You can't really go wrong there.
I loved the FMV cut scenes in Westwood Studios games. They always managed to get a minor celebrity as the games got bigger.
They also made a really good Diablo style game called Nox.
