The game I would recommend is actually a PC game. Whether that automatically disqualifies it, it still is a good game, and I would recommend it to anyone else who is reading this thread.
Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War.
Unfortunately it is a Warhammer game, which I am not the greatest fan of. However, I find it a great game to play on. It's an RTS, but here's the twist. Some units have specific kill animations in melee combat depending what unit is fighting what. This means you get crazy things like the Commander unit smashing the Demon's face with a hammer, as it falls fowards he grabs it's horns, as it stands up again he comes up with it, he hits it around the head, and then smashes it's face into the ground. All this happens in a normal battle. Also, there is no more controlling little workers gathering wood and coal, there are just two rescources, one is acquired through holding strategic points, and the other is acquired by building generators.
I have just one complaint about it, the sound is awful. The voice acting is appalling, and the music hardly puts you in the mood for huge machines of death grabbing infantry, squeezing the life out of them, torching with a flamethrower, then throwing into a wall for good measure. As long as you have some good music to listen to you will enjoy this game :)
