Is it me or am I just getting older? Most newer games just seem like button mashers rather than requiring any real thought or planning to play. I would think AI's would have gotten better over the years but have been sorely unimpressed with the AI's of the recent total war series, Hearts of Iron III, and others. Or is it just that I'm so used to try an outhink human opponents (from my many years of wargaming) that any AI wouldn't challenge me.

What have your all's impression of the challenge of AI's in newer games?
