It's one of those very few franchises that there are just no detractors. Everyone who has played it loved it.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

It uses an FPS engine. The similarities end there. It's not an FPS. Period. You should try it, Kit.

Still can't get through to Steam. I'm beginning to wonder if they really want their loved ones back.
BTW, I play RTS games, but I'm looking for "new" things.

Sins of a a Solar Empire...by chance?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If you like AoE2 you may enjoy Rise of Nations or Age of Mythology.

It's absolutely amazing, as is portal 2. I highly recommend it, it calls for some very unusual solutions to physics-related puzzles. It's polished and original.
