Hearthlands is my latest little discovery and even though it's in the early stages it looks really promising. Hearthlands plays out much like the Majesty & Settlers strategy games that puts the focus on buildings, resources, heroes and other things a King needs to watch over, so you don't control your units directly.
Making the rounds at the moment is the fact that Wasteland 2 is selling very well. Well that's a shocker isn't it!

Real time strategy games are my favourite genre next to first person shooters and Interloper is tickling my fancy right now. It's a brand new in-development RTS game.
