Suggested strategy and free puzzle and logic games??
 

Would anyone be able to suggest any good strategy games (like starcraft or warcraft), that I can buy at my local electronics shop here in Toronto (like Futureshop or Electronic Boutique).

I am looking for also puzzle and logic games that help to help develop lateral thinking, and that will help you to develop the mathematical and functional aspects of your brain. Mainly for computer chess games (with beginner, average, experienced computer oponents, and online member base) If this is online I would not mind. Also any other puzzle or logic games that are free for download for the computer, or anything else you have to suggest.

Thanks!

Hmm, civilization?

I'd mention Fritz (Chessgame) as well, but you already said chess ^^

Well I want suggestions for CHESS too, stuff from beginner to advanced :D

Well, as said Fritz would be my choise.
You can define nearly every aspect of the computer's strategy if wanted, and specify the difficult level from beginner till überprofi.

Do you happen to have a url to where I can purchase it?

there may be older versions of it on ebay maybe :)

You also want checkers and/or backgammon. :)

And on that note an open challenge to anyone who wants a game of checkers can PM me ;)

did you try WarcraftIII ? if not then you should (for WCG ^^), Starcraft is also good it's legend. Rise of Nations or Age of Mythology is ok too

I bought both starcraft and warcraft, and in LOST the cd and box for starcraft, I dont have the expansion pack for warcraft, but did have the broodwar expansion for starcraft :( I miss starcraft.
I am an avid checkers player, and do not understand backgammon :P
