I've never really liked Strategy to tell the truth. I was always to bad at something like Sim City or Civilisation to ever like them, and C & C never did it for me.
However.
There is one strategy series I'd go as far as placing just below Final Fantasy as my favorite. Yet no-one has really ever mentioned it:
Homeworld.
With Homeworld, and HW : Catacylsm, I feel i don't need a single other Strategy game. This series has everything (particuarly Homeworld) : An epic storyline. An epic soundtrack (Barber's adagio for strings sets up some of the most memorable moments I can remember about any scene, gaming or otherwise.) Great Units (with great weapons and some truely cool and large ships) A fantastic Tactical Perspective (the first fully 3D 360 Strategy Game.) A pretty cool cast (all non-pros as well ^_^). Cool sounds (Ion Cannons and Hyperspacing have a excellent zing ) and an excellent multiplayer game (i played a friend of mine once and the game was so good that he only just made it to the toilet in-time once we finally resolved the match)
