I apparently did not beat all that many games last month. Heck, one from this post is from January. Link to my reviews at the bottom of the post.

Praetorians HD Remaster is Praetorians, but with a higher resolution and nicer textures. I wrote a review for this one!
Battles for Spain
6 hours, 2 of 16 achievements

Achievements were a bit buggy in this one, I "should" have got more than I did. Anyway, wrote a review for this one as well.
Battlestar Galactica Deadlock: Ghost Fleet Offensive
8 hours, no achievements

A new DLC for Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, and a pretty good one at that. Also, review!

Thanks for the reviews. Every time I see one of your posts, I realize that there are much more strategy games than I think. For a genre that’s “dead”, it looks very lively :D
Battles for Spain has a very interesting look to it, totally different from most other modern strategy games. It reminds me of the late 90s. I don’t know if I’d given the game a chance, I grow ever more reluctant to immerse myself in such games. Battlestar Galactica on the other hand looks quite decent and good to know, that there are some DLCs which are not only adding new ships but new stories as well.
Strategy games don’t receive the big budgets anymore. Seems like only Creative Assembly really gets AAA budgets, and the attention that comes with that. But companies like Slitherine really do help keep the genre alive and well
Also, Battles for Spain is surprisingly easy to get into and learn, but it does not have quite the amount of content that you would get from say an AGEOD title, there are just a few scenarios, that can be played from both sides, with a relatively simple rule system
