uh... neither is Epic. Some of us prefer turn-based
strategy, and most people wouldn't dismiss a game just because
it's one or the other.

Graphics are good but not even close to cutting-edge,
yes. I can live with that. My main problem with the game was
that the AI was dumb as sh*t even at the highest difficulty -
I never even considered that I might lose any of the fights
except for one of the times I got counter-attacked (and I
won that one anyway). Winning the game became a tedious
exercise more than anything else.
Oh, and the last battle was amazingly disappointing &
confusing.
