Age of Empires: My first dip in the RTS genre was an immersive and amazing one. It mixed history with amazingly fun gameplay, which has evolved unprecedantly in the past years as more RTS games have hit the shelves, from Age of Empires II to the more recent Empires: DMW and by the current looks of things, Age of Empires III.
The main pull initially for me was the appearance of brilliant looking battles, but then I realised just how historical the game was, and it has helped me become mroe and more interested in the periods involved in those games.
After Ensemble Studios began creating RTS games, the genre has become more and more innovative and every RTS game is now compared to ES' gem.
