ORIGINAL: ravinhood Yeah granted Matrixgames had several "new" releases this year (Gate of Troy isn't one of them, it may be a new published release for them, but, the game was out a whole year before they ever picked it up, so, I ain't counting old news.). But, look at them and look at the forums on them, they just aren't highly anticiapated and likeable. I got "Tin Soldiers:Caesar", thas it. And that because it's DIFFERENT from WWII or Napoleon or American Civil War. Now, I will get "Combat Leader" if/when it's ever released. I know it's just a Steel Panthers reskinning, but, it's been many many many years since a reskinning so that's ok. These that reskin a game every year or every other year are the ones that piss me off. As far as Decision Games and a computer wargame in every issue. I'd buy into it. And those wouldn't have to have an AI. But, they would need to be PBEMable. Man I'd jump on that in a second cause I enjoy reading S&T magazines. If the price is right and it has a PBEM function, those kinds of games would work and they'd have a monster of a fanbase just from their S&T magzine fans alone. I even suggested something like this awhile back, hrmmm, maybe I'll get some royalties. lol Being as AI's just aren't what they used to be, no use paying $50-$60 for really just a PBEM game that I could probably get a lot cheaper through a subscription, plus a magazine besides!!! I'd pay up to $180 a year for (6) issues/games, that seems fair considering you're getting a game and a magazine with great reading. I agree. I would definitely be a subscriber to a new S&T that included a computer game. Heck, I'd love to have it in an electronic addition that I just downloaded the magazine and game. Not sure if I would pay $180 a year though, but definitely something like $60 to $80 would seem fair. After all, I wouldn't be getting my choice of games and probably some of the games wouldn't be of any interest to me so $30 an issue is a bit steep. If something like this did get launched though and produced some decent material, I might relent an go to $120 since most of my impulse game buys are in the $19.95 range and that would be the equivalent. Ah, the rebirth of the SPI approach... yea, I'd like to see that.
