King's Bounty

AAAh, how could I forget to mention this? I managed to get... a copy... of King's bounty, so I can safely say that it is awesome. Might not have a lot of replayability, but damn the whole game is lots of fun, the quests are well done and very funny....

Basically enjoying it a lot.

There's a few down sides - the mob placement is random, so you could come across a high level group right in the starting area. The quests aren't random, so once you've done them once you won't want to replay the game. Armies at the keeps only top up when you do quests for the various people, so if you're not careful you could end up with having to buy minions that you don't want, because they've run out of "stock" for your first choice.

Bonuses over HOMM - one massive world, so you get to keep your armies as you travel all over the place. You don't have to repeat the whole castle building process - you just purchase higher level mobs in higher level areas.

Definately will get the expansion (Or the game + Expansion pack) if they release it in SA.
