Speaking of TBS fantasy, King's Bounty: The Legend is a REALLY good game. After resolving the incompatibilities with my graphics card I played the demo for 6 hours straight, bought the game and have been playing as often as possible since then. Dominions doesn't mind if I cheat on her, she's cool like that. She even said something about a three-some, but I was playing games so I didn't hear her...

Where can I get the demo?

I tend not to like Heroes of Might and Magic-like stacks in tactical battles, but I will give it a go if your endorsement is so ringing

Also, I thought King's Bounty was real-time on the adventure map, not TBS?

King's Bounty is real time on strategy map and turn based on tactical fights!

I can confirm that this game is really a good one! Its a lot of fun to me on "impossible" difficult and its really hard to decide how and where to fight next and not to run out of gold. For me is the best game came out in 2008.

The quests are very funny and have a lot of humor (even only text quests)! I find the campaign mode much better than HoMM's scenario campaigns.

The game surpised me many times with cool new features during playtime.

Take a look on it!

Here: http://www.gamershell.com/download_32652.shtml

I liked the demo enough that I instantly bought the game over GamersGate after it became available. I didn't have the time to play it anymore lately, but for the time that I played it, I really wasn't let down any. Great game!

The game looks great and given the recommendation here I think I'd go ahead and buy it.

Is it available at retail?

I have very fond memories of the original 'King's Bounty'. Great game, for the silicon stone age, and had one of the better game manuals, as well.

Announcing a hot new game on election day?
That doesnt make any sense.
Now, announcing it on election RESULTS day. That would make sense.
I might be in strong need of a good distraction to look forward to.

Yeah, if Mccain wins, I'm going out and buying a new computer *that day*, because it's that or make a run for Canada.

This game will be after their current fantasy game, so I guess it will be good 2 years away, if not more.
