"While not much appears to be incredibly new compared with the demo that was shown off at E3 last year, Heavy Duty still looks like an intriguing entry into an expanding genre of games that attempt to emulate one of the best strategy games of all time. Fans of X-Com might want to give Heavy Duty a whirl when it hits later this year"

"Numen seems like a very promising action RPG based on what we know at this point. The Greek mythology and world is mostly an unexplored area when it comes to RPGs and the eternal strifes between Greek gods will probably offer seeds for many sequels, if the first game finds its target group"

"PT Boats: Knights of the Sea is so much different than other WWII games on the market, that hopefully it will be a breath for fresh air for gamers interested in this genre. The sound quality is top-notch, the graphics will be good in the full version and support both DX9 and DX10, and controlling your boat - once you get the hang of it - is a breeze; plus there is nothing more satisfying than sinking a ship that seems thirty-times larger than yours. The full game will include multiplayer options, the ability to wield weapons on some larger ships, participate in night missions with projectors, and take part in both landing and iceberg missions"

"When finished, PT Boats: Knights of the Sea will definitely offer a unique experience to anyone who is even remotely interested in naval battles. The exceptionally beautiful graphics, intense atmosphere of looming death in the form of torpedoes and heavy weapons fire as well as the roar of the engines of your PT Boat as you swerve away from an enemy fleet will come together to transfer you back to the deadly world of World War II"

"Jagged Alliance 3 really looks like it's now on the right track. I only had time for a short demo, and the game is still a year away, but what's important is that they have already made justice to the JA legacy.

Yes, it's turn based (yay!) and the many of the old characters make a comeback, and the old chemistry and relationships between the mercs is faithfully included"

"The interface is definitely improved, and we found commanding our squad to be easier than ever. The large strategic country map is back, only this time rather than having the land divided up in a grid the land will be broken up into more natural-looking territories. Also returning is the Action Point system from the previous games, so JA vets will feel right at home"

"Disciples 3 uses a completely new engine and I must confess that the game looks very fresh. The graphics received a facelift and it's now got some new shaders and bigger texture maps, all making it look much better than ever before.

The units were also redesigned as the developers wanted to make them as realistic as possible"

"Last week in Leipzig we had a chance to get a glimpse of the game in action. And everything we saw suggests that a genuine sequel is finally on the horizon. You may be skeptical and you have every right to be, but before you leap to any conclusions, let me explain exactly why I am so excited"

“A large variety of units, character customization and upgrades, and a strong series pedigree mean that all signs point to success for Disciples III: Renaissance in the near future. Akella had a daunting task before them in taking a beloved and popular series and adding their own flair to it, but things are definitely looking good so far. A year after the title had been announced, Disciples III won the "Best Game" award at the Russian Game Developers Conference in April 2007. It has only improved in the meantime, and with at least six more months to polish and fine-tune things, it's hard to imagine just how much better Disciples III can possibly get. Keep an eye out for it this fall”.
