Does anyone know if there are any good strategy games on the PS3?

Similar to Age of Empires II/Civilization so generally RTS or turn based.

Theres Red alert 3 aswell as the CnC ps1 games in the uk psn store. Endwar is out on the ps3 aswell. Theres a really good one thats half rpg or something aswell that a lot of people on here have played but cant remember the name of it for the life of me. Might not be your thing if your just after a straight up rts anyway.

You know what, I hear a lot about CnC games and I think I got about £10 on my PSN Wallet so I could probably buy it but I've never played a CnC game before (lol I know) I've always prefered the traditional medieval looking games but everyone tells me CnC is amazing ,is it worth a try? What is it about?

This is what I really wanted to get. After playing the demo, it's a fantastic game, unfortunately it's sold out everywhere. I already emailed some retailers asking if they can order it.

Well worth a try erm i prefer them on pc myself but the orignal ps1 CnC was awesome id get that before you consider any of the red alert games. Dont be shocked at how terrible they look aswell lol.
