The fall release flood is clearly upon us, but this time it seems to be hitting me particularly hard in strategy games.  I've barely scratched the surface of Dominions 3, and I already have World At War: A World Divided, Space Empires 5, Sid Meier's Railroads!, and Stronghold Legends sitting on the pile looking at me.  That's not even counting all the RTSes like Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, DEFCON, and Sword of the Stars... or games like Anno 1701 and Supreme Commander that will be out shortly.

I'm constantly torn between trying them all out a little bit to see what's best, vs. pacing myself to keep the flow of "new" (to me).  Strategy games are particularly rough because they rarely have a finishing condition where I can achieve nice, clean, closure the way I can on something with a storyline...

Overall, a pretty good problem to have though.  :)
