The Knight is probably my favorite. Especially when facing the Dark Elves, if he has the Helmet & Shield upgrade he can stay on the Assault Boost for many consecutive turns -practically unlimited with a Cleric nearby- without being able to get knocked off.

The archer for sure. Giving it the weapon upgrade makes it incredibly powerful, and being able to attack from 3 squares away and then retreat behind a defensive unit makes it very useful.

The Necromancer is my weapon of choice. Sworded up and supported by a Priestess, he will dominate the entire center of the board and create an army of phantoms. Frustrates the hell out of newbies too

The awesomest unit by far is the wraith. A fully loaded fed wraith is tough to kill. The most tactical useful is the necromancer. You can pick off the enemy from 3 squares away and turn them into phantoms.

Bogus! This deal isn’t for either system listed, the PS3 ($11.58) or 360 ($9.99). A pity. If there *were* games for the Playstation at Steam™ prices (the Valve service for PCgames), I’d immediately and impulsively buy. Download only? Thanks, I’ll just get it via Steam. I miss the Amazon PSN vouchers, and the outstanding prices featured back then.

I’m glad The Old Republic made the list. It’s too bad it came out with only 11 days left in the year, it missed out on a bunch of GOTY nods, which it really deserves. It’s a great game in my experience, and I’ve easily put over 200 hours in it already, AND AM STILL IN CHAPTER 1!

30 hours to get through Portal 2! 30 hours!

@SubBambi

So if you played Skyrim for over 200 hours and then claim its “boring as fuck”, then why did you play a game that you didn’t like? Most people would, you know, stop playing the damn game. But you put in over 200 hours! So who’s loss is it that then?
