Out of Eight writes: "Strategy games can be roughly divided into two categories: "slow" and "fast." Sometimes you want an experience that progresses at a methodical pace like Europa Universalis or Sins of a Solar Empire, and sometimes you'll prefer a quicker game like World in Conflict or Company of Heroes. There's something for everyone, unless you don't like strategy games, in which case you're reading the wrong site. On the fast side of the strategy balance is Multiwinia, the latest game by Introversion, the developer responsible for DEFCON and Darwinia. Since they are porting Darwinia to something called an Xbox 360 (yeah, I've never heard of it, either), they needed to include a multiplayer aspect to the game, and thus Multiwinia was born."
The Good:
+Numerous game modes with customizable rules
+Speedy action-oriented gameplay
+Several viable strategies per game
+Simplified controls
+Distinctive graphics and sound
+Competitive AI
+Bonus crates for unpredictability
The Not So Good:
-Can't customize control scheme
-All game modes are essentially the same and some are poorly balanced
-Randomized (or weighted in the loser's favor) crates can dramatically (and unfairly) impact the outcome
-No random maps or editor
-Lacks end-game stats

We are still waiting for the Tolstoy-esque war game where, by and large, instructions must be issued prior to engagement and may turn out to be irrelevant due to unforeseen events, where orders handed over to a messenger during the heat of the battle may be struck down by a stray musket shot before they are ever received. You know what gets closest? Multiwinia. Honest.
Grand Theft Auto IV and a host of new video game deals have been posted by Green Man Gaming in part of their Digital Download Festival deals.
i hate seeing "up to 75% off some games", just list the games man, retails (especially retailers who use digital distribution methods) almost always have 75% off some games
