Jagged Alliance 2

It is a very good and fun turn based tactical strategy game, but make sure you check out the 1.13 patch/mod it changes the game a lot in a very good way, adding all kinds of new weapons and changing the way stuff works.

One of the best games ever. At couple of dollars its a steal. I remember reading good review like 10 years ago or something (i was kid back then) and bought this from store. Man it might look stupid on screenshots but the game is just great and filled with humour and good gameplay. In my list this game makes the top1 because it has entertained me so much. Every 4 years or something i must atleast onetime play it again.

I've always been a console gamer, but this game made me appreciate what PC gaming is all about. The characters are interesting and unique, the quests will keep you busy for days, there is just so much to see. The soundtrack is also one of my favorites. It's simply amazing how detailed the weapons are described in this game. All I know about guns and rifles, I learned here. What I really love though are the mods. So many great mod and new adventures out there, that'll alter your experience, it's just a brilliant game. Enjoy!

This is a really excellent game - a standout. Solid campaign, unlike the rather brief one in Deadly Games, but graphically there's a bit more there than the original JA. Lots of fun with attachments and with your mercs getting on each others' nerves.

Squad turn-based tactic/strategic action. I own JA2 (box) from 1999, but I have found my way to it a few years later. And never stopped playing after that. This is one of my "Pick three games and be left alone on the island until the end of your life". The other one would be OpenTTD and I will have to think about the third for some time... Jagged Allience 2 gives you almost infinite replayability. You can have your own merecenary + some of around 40 hired mercs + some rebels and "civilians". You can create a unique mix of characters which have feelings abouzt others in your squad everytime. Game supplies you literally with "tons of guns", if you feel adventurous, you can go "sci-fi" and kill some bugs. On top of that are three difficulties and ironman mode. If you are new to this franchise, even easy would be pretty challenging. Considering that wounded characters get less action points and miss much more frequently. Jagged Alliance 2 is absolute gem and I still don't get it why you are reading this instead of buying the game already. One more thing to say. If you want higher resolution and/or another platform support (I play on Linux), you should check JA2 Stracciatella - open source port of the game engine. Just supply it with data from original game.
