It was released in 2002, around the same time such "monsters" of this subgenre like Heroes4,
Age of Wonders 2 and Etherlords were released. And yet it stood proudly next to them and secured it's place as one of premier franchises of this type. Now it's back in full 3D and done by Akella.

TV和PC平台的玩家们无论如何也不能再看第三方软件商的脸色了.

貌似是所有平台的游戏都在了，可否有PC单独分类的

前面在Exclusive标题分类以来的都是PC独家的

multi platform就是垮平台的

不过我觉得这都无所谓，可以玩到中意的游戏就可以了，别人是否也玩到没关系对吧

ADV一直都不少. 但国内媒体对这种游戏不做什么报道.

实际上我们每年看到的PC游戏只占很小一部分. 大部分我们可能都没听说过.

怎么没有看到battle field 3???
