Jagged Alliance: Back in Action

Jagged Alliance 2 along with Fallout 2 are two of my favourite PC games. Turn-based gaming seems to have gone out of fashion and even Xcom has decided to sell out and go first person. Jagged Alliance Back in Action is an exception to this trend – it hasn't sold out and has kept its originality. My only moan is that neither the script or characters have evolved.

Back in Action uses a new approach to the turns based system using pauses and timing for issuing orders to your mercenaries. It is worth a look as it has remained an excellent strategy game, both demanding and rewarding. I will always be a fan of Jagged Alliance as the game gives you time to reflect and have a cup of tea and there is none of the arghhhh of Dawn of War 2.

Yeah, BiA not actually being turn-based didn't do it any favors (check some reviews/user ratings). Have you seen XCOM:EU from Firaxis? Not the silly FPS. That one will be turn-based, somethings seem to have been a bit... simplified, but it still looks very promising.

I didnt mind the game changed from turn based , the pause and play i found worked well.

The Xcom from firaxis does look good , looking forward to that.
