For a long time now I’ve heard strategy game fans sing the praises of the Suikoden series, specifically the first and second game. I could not confirm their boasts of Suikoden II being one of the best strategy games of all time because it’s ridiculously expensive and always has been. I’m talking the days before ALL retro video games gained unreasonable prices…Suikoden II cost a king’s ransom back when game collecting was a thing the average person could affordably do.
In the overhead strategy game genre, there are a handful of titles that stand above the rest, considered to be all-time classics. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together is one of them, and as proof, it continues to be released and re-released over and over. The game first appeared in 1995 as a Japanese exclusive on the Super Famicom, but first visited the West in the form of its Playstation port a few years later, where it received rave reviews.

Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developer Mimimi Games have been adding expansions to the original for nearly five years, and on that fifth birthday, they’ll be releasing the latest addtion: Aiko’s Choice.
We just found out today that AMC (as in the cable network, not the theater chain) has its own video game division. They’re now working with Madrid-based developer Fictiorama Studios (Do Not Feed the Monkeys) to publish a real-time strategy game that’s unlike any typical RTS we’ve seen: The Fabulous Fear Machine.
Awhile back publisher Curve Digital and developer Runner Duck released Space Crew — an intergalactic crew management strategy game (it was easier to say “Space Crew”).
