Bigred's Video Game Thread

[surviva316]

I see Braid is on Summer Sale for $5. That's awfully tempting, and worse case scenario, I blow a fiver. Downside of that decision is that I don't much play video games (even this Wind Waker game I got is rotting and I friggin' love Zelda).

Heroes of Might and Magic III is an incredible game. My cousins owned it when I went to visit them for a summer in Chicago and I barely went outside because of it. I had no idea it was some famously incredible game or anything until I randomly 15 years later was like, "What the hell was the name of that game that I got so addicted to? Swords and Mages or some shit? I wonder if I could find it on the cheap on ebay?" That's when I found out it was a cult classic.

Yeah, one of the best unknown games out there. Everything just works well (except the Town Portal spell, which is a game breaker later on). Other than that, extremely balanced, awesome soundtrack and effects, perfect graphics for a 1997 turn-based strategy game and enough strategy to make it highly interesting without scaring off casual players.
