"Who cares about turn-based games?
What was the last turn-based game you played? What about the one before that? Hard to remember? It should be. Turn-based games have been disappearing off the face of the planet. It's our fault.
We, the same gamers who complain that all games nowadays are the same, that they all lack depth or meaning; it is we who are responsible for the demise of a whole type of game. Hardly anyone makes turn-based strategy games like Civilization anymore. We don't see war-games like Gary Grigsby's War In Russia getting press and gamer attention. What's the last turn-based RPG to really make an impact in the marketplace? Even squad-based combat games (like X-Com and Jagged Alliance) are moving to real-time - just look at Fallout: Tactics. "

But seriously I miss my Turn based strategy games, call me old fashioned, but i love turn based strategy
. Dont get me wrong i also love my Halo's and Grant turismo's, but I just recently realised that there are basicaly no new turn based strategy games. Is there realy no more room in todays game market for some good old "thinking man's" games, or has it all become about flashy grafix and sensless violance?
Where have we went wrong?
