Awesome! An early morning Quick Look is always the best way to start your day. :)

And another strategy game doesn't hurt!

The Alliance of Jaggeds. All time high.

Voice acting was amazing in Jagged Alliance 2. One of my fave games of all time. This looks like crap though.

Been waiting for this.

Man! Dave and Vinny are really good together!

Still can't decide on this game, despite enjoying the last one.

Oh god, the voice acting is horrendous.

Glad to see someone still making some kind of games in this genre! Had this mofo pre-ordered for weeks. Just started a five day weekend and hope to get into this game today. Hope this will get me my fix for TBS that I have had for a few years.

I hear you! I can jerk to that

Man it was a dark week full of Patrick/Brad QL's but this Dave/Vinny wave is something I'm enjoying way too much.

It kinda works. The whole game seems to go for this cheesy rubbish A-Team tone.

I've been playing a bunch of this the last few days. It's half awesome and half janky / frustrating. Some of the busy work they expect you to do is quite frankly unbelievable. Unfortunately, it's probably that busy work (which I think is only going to get worse the further in I get) which will eventually see me give up on this game.

It's not turn-based, so I wouldn't get your hopes up. It does scratch approximately the same itch though.

Why do they speak like that? I can't see how any one would ever think it was a good idea.

It's close enough for me. The same way Dragon Age's combat can be paused got me my last turn based fix. I just like being able to stop and plan out how to approach a situation and have a game reward strategy over mindlessly clicking buttons faster then the AI.
