Excerpt: "It’s easy to dismiss Unity of Command because it is turn-based, a strategy title, looks like a tabletop game, takes place in World War II, and even its liberal use of hexes. It seems like a contradiction, but the Croatian developers at 2×2 Games have made an accessible, fun, hardcore turn-based strategy game that looks and plays great without overwhelming you with systems and screens.
What you see, is what you get in Unity of Command. There are no hidden screens or other UI elements that aren’t front-facing from the moment you start a game. You can learn how to play for yourself, or absorb the information from the included digital manual. I recommend you start with the Tutorial and introductory scenario if you’re at all new to the genre or style of play. Featuring two campaigns: the Soviet and the Axis, each re-enacting history, asking you to perform specific tasks are individually challenging. It is extremely likely the game will take you out back, beat you up until you learn how to play it properly."

"Billy mays here!" - Is all I could think of when I saw that image :P
No but seriously, A few good games but the rest to me are meh...
Hmm, i agree with XCOM and Dishonored. I already completed it on console, but i got the GOTY Edition for Dishonored during Steam sale as well.
"Why? Because M.O.D.O.K., that’s why!"
I can say the same thing about Howard the Duck

"If Unity of Command is new to you then we should both be somewhat ashamed of ourselves. Me for not evangelising what I consider the most shamefully overlooked game of the last few years strongly enough and you for the sheer crime of missing out on it. I am going to assume that you haven’t played it – after all, those that have will have undoubtedly bought the DLC upon release and are far too busy launching offensives across Germany to bother reading this – so I suggest that before you read on you take a look at my original review of the game… don’t worry, I’ll wait."
