What is the PC Game of the Year 2003?

I preferred Korsun Pocket to HttR.

A sequel? I did not know that, thanks for the info. The absence of a grand campaign OR using the engine for additional campaigns/battles is what I meant by limited scope. It seems to me that the engine would make a great Afrika Korps game. Korsun Pocket was a great grognard style game also, too, as well

Same here.

Dominions 2, Soul Calibur 2, and Tron 2.0 stick out most in my mind. Combat Mission: AK would as well, but I haven't had time to play it.

2003 was full of a lot of cool games that simply didn't live up to their potential.

I hardly think it's fair to knock HttR for not having its engine used in other titles when the game just came out in December 2003. The engine would be excellent for things such as D-Day (one map per target beach), Sicily, Crete, Tobruk, and many other interesting battles at that approximate map scale.

Strategy : Dom2 of course !
RPG : KotoR, TOEE didn't really invent anything, I still prefer BG SOA
Wargame : HTTR. KP is good but much less innovative, CMAK is more of a CM-expansion than a new game
Others : don't play
