Age of Wonders

Sargon's rating:
250

Sargon says: The best fantasy TBS. If you want to experience a part of another world, it's tragedies and triumphs, this is your game. Epic tactical battles with many possibilities. Great strategic depth. Handmade portraits and a description for every unit.

Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic

Sargon's rating: not rated yet
250

Sargon says: Some people say that this is even better than Age of Wonders. Some say not. I haven't played it yet, but soon I will. 16 different playable races. A random map generator. A living community and a large community patch: http://aow2.heavengames.com

Sargon says: Only buy this for the campaign and the custom maps (which can be copied and pasted into AoW: SM. This is Age of Wonders II. Age of Wonders - Shadow Magic (above) is a stand-alone expansion to Age of Wonders II with many new additions.

Heroes of Might and Magic® 2: Gold E...

Sargon's rating:
250

Sargon says: A truly great game! Lush, detailed and beautiful graphics that makes you want to explore. Fairy-tale feeling. Very fun and exiting strategic and tactical gameplay. Really great sound and music. No angels nor devils. My favorite of the series.

Heroes of Might and Magic® 3: Comple...

Sargon's rating:
250

Sargon says: Much of the same as it's predecessor. The artwork and music have a very different style. It is great and very immersive in both games. More possibilities, but HoMM II is no lightweight game either! Both games are highly recommended!

Heroes of Might and Magic®

Sargon's rating:
250

Sargon says: Only for Heroes of Might and Magic fans. It was a good game when it came out, but HoMM II built upon and vastly improved it. Same overland graphics as HoMM II mostly. Different graphics for cities, units and battles. Different music.

Master of Magic

Sargon's rating:
250

Sargon says: A great game! Like a mix between civilization and the aforementioned games. Unbalanced, so don't read up on the strategy before you play it. A lot of the fun is exploring the gameworld itself.

Lords of Magic: Special Edition

Sargon's rating:
250

Sargon says: Flawed, but still a good game. Atmospheric, many possibilities, some of the best fantasy game music made. Unfortunately the tactical battles are fought in real time.

Disciples 2 Gold

Sargon's rating:
250

Sargon says: Very good graphics that draws you into its fantasy world. Well made. Unfortunately more shallow than the other games here, especially the tactical battles. Still a good game.

Disciples: Sacred Lands Gold

Sargon's rating: not rated yet
250

Sargon says: I haven't played this but I suspect that it has many similarities to Disciples 2. The graphics are not so good.

Fantasy Wars

Sargon's rating: not rated yet

Sargon says: Uh oh. It looks very generic and uninspired.

Heroes of Might and Magic® 4: Complete

Sargon's rating: not rated yet
250

Sargon says: I haven't tried this one yet but I have great expectations for a new fresh take on the great gameplay of the previous games, more good music from Rob King and something new for the HoMM series, good storytelling. The AI is supposed to be bad.

Heroes Chronicles: All chapters

Sargon's rating: not rated yet
250

Sargon says: For fans of HoMM III. If you want more campaigns there are eight of them here. Nothing new otherwise but there should be a lot of gameplay here. The campaigns are supposed to be easier but the difficulty is adjustable so veterans can play too.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)

Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!

So, what are the ingredients?

Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?

Justify your choice... Or not!

OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
