Now that I got that out of the way, I want to tell you all of an amazing RTS game I've been playing for the past few years; Warlords Battlecry 3. I love this game. If I feel like playing an RTS that's not Command And Conquer or Age Of Empires, I boot this game up.

But what makes Warlords Battlecry 3 so special? Well, I'm a huge fan of the Shining Force series, and I like the Fire Emblem series (well, whatever we can get from Japan, sans that new one). I loved their mix of strategy and RPG. I loved how Valkyria Chronicles for the PS3 continued this sort of thing, but allow free movement. But, as much as I love Shining Force, Fire Emblem and Valkyria Chronicles, I also like a real time equivalent. If I didn't know of Warlords Battlecry 3, I'd be going "man I wish this was in real time". That would have driven me crazy.

If you haven't already got it, it basically puts RPG elements into an RTS game. Think Age Of Empires with hints of Dragon Quest throughout...

But why am I talking about this game? Well, for one, it's underrated. Only a few other people I know have played this game, which I consider crazy, as this is crazy fun for me. I would really like everybody (preferably RTS fans, though non fans can get this too, as this is kind of an accessible RTS) to pick up a copy of this game right now. Secondly and finally, I've prepared a beta review of this game, though I need to run through some corrections, spellchecks and specifications.

Good night everybody. Have fun.
