SimCity (I have all 3 SimCity games) and Caesar (I have Caesar II and Zeus) are two more strategy games that I think are OK, but not great... they get boring and frusterating in not too long... fun to play for a while, but boring in the end. Not some of the better strategy games out there... I'd far rather play Civilization, Warcraft, Age of Empires, Heroes of Might and Magic, Warlords, Disciples, Medieval: Total War, Lords of the Realm, Gettysburg, or the rest of the RTS/TBS genres over those resource management-type games like SimCity, SimTower, SimEarth, Caesar/Pharoah/Zeus, etc.
As for the tactical combat ones (JA, X-Com, maybe Syndicate, and Fallout Tactics, among others), I haven't played them enough to really judge, but they seem fun enough. A little more action-oriented, but still fun. Not as good as TBS/RTSes, though, IMO.
