GameVortex writes: "Elven Legacy is an upcoming fantasy strategy simulation due to be released sometime in Q1 2009 by veteran game publisher Paradox Interactive. Set in a rich and compelling world, the game features an encompassing quest to restore the Elven race to its former glory. This feat is accomplished through a series of missions that serve to progress the storyline. However, there are branching paths which add to the depth and replayability of the game. Missions are not overly long, so replaying them in an attempt to achieve bonus conditions will not lead to much frustration for most gamers. I replayed several of the maps simply for the chance to explore a bit and ensure that I had not overlooked some hidden artifact or objective. Succeeding in a mission while fulfilling particular bonus conditions may even open bonus, non-linear levels which give the player a chance to revisit in-game historical events and even possibly play as the Orcs. These bonus conditions are generally stated at the beginning of the scenario and normally consist of winning within a set number of turns".

Asad Quadri of The Koalition.com Writes: Hey there it's me Asad Quadri, better known as TheExMachina from the Koalition forums. This is my first article called "Under the Radar" where I talk about games from this generation which I feel may have been overlooked and unnoticed due to more mainstream games taking up the spotlight. While we all enjoy "PWNING TEH NOOBS" in a friendly, violent and frenzied deathmatch in Modern Warfare 2, or "CHOPING UP ALL TEH UGLY LOCUST WITH TEH LANCER" in Horde mode in Gears of War 2, there are games out there which offer something different.
Something perhaps you've never tried before and something which offers just as much playability and entertainment as the majority of the mainstream products. In this article, I talk about a turn-based strategy game called Elven Legacy, from publishers Paradox Interactive and developers 1C Company. I am enjoying this game very much as it provides something different to other mainstream titles out there. It's a great way to be introduced to more sophisticated wargames, as the gameplay is easy enough for beginners to learn, but challenging enough for even the most hardened turn-based war veteran. If you are up for something different, fun and exigent, then Elven Legacy could be right up your street.
The Game Guys have officially opened up voting for the 2nd Annual Game Guys' Gamers' Choice Awards. Everybody who votes is entered into a contest to win one of five system-specific prize packs. Each prize pack contains two system-specific games and one accessory, except for the PC prize pack which contains three PC games.
Is it sad that I care less about the actual voting than I do winning the free games?
