For me, Heroes of Might and Magic 1, 2, 3, and 4 are among my personal favorite turn-based games. NWC Has consistantly improved each Version. I remember the first edition being one of the first games to take advantage of nice crisp clear SVGA graphics. When it came out the industry standard was still VGA 320x200 256colors!
Although not turn based IMHO Starcraft is Blizzards best Game by far. I am really really really surprised that it has not been followed by any sequel. (The upcomming GHOST game doesn't count as a sequel, it's a first person shooter!)
What am I looking forward to playing? SE:V of course. I think it's going to 'look great'

and play even better! (I'm also interested in StarFury, Privateer was one of my fav games way back when!)
nuf said! Cheers.
Edit:...well maybe not enough!... Anyone remember Starflight 1 & 2 that was a great game, but it wasn't really turn based either! Ah well, I love to digress!
