I have WC3 and AOE2 Gold, and I think I'll be getting Civ III. Is there any other worthwhile strategy games out there?

Homeworld 2 and Rise of Nations are pretty good. Homeworld 2 may be a bit old, but it's still awesome. And Rise of Nations is sort of a cross between a real time and turn base strategy game, but its real time component is pretty great.

Another vote for Rise of Nations. Star Wars: Galatic Battlegrounds is supposed to be good as well, but I haven't tried it.

Is SW: GB for the Mac? I can only find it for PC.

I'll second that, and they just introduced Command & Conquer Generals Gold or something like that on the Mac that has the Zero Hour pack included.

Neither of these are strategy, and only Splinter Cell is available for the Mac.

About SW:GB: here.

Got the Demo for SW:GB. I have to say I was unimpressed. Graphics seem really old. I still might try to get my hands on a full version though, since it plays a lot like AOE.

They built it on the AoE engine, so it should be just like a Star Wars AoE.
