	GameSurge - The Garrulous Game Guy
		The genre in question is turn-based strategy, and to believe some pundits you would think that these games are on their last leg.
		Turn-based strategy, and its cousin turn-based wargaming, do not (Civilization- and Heroes of Might and Magic type games excepted) appeal to a wide segment of the gaming population.
		I know that there is room for improvement, switches to be thrown, concepts to be matured, and corners to be turned in order to clear a place for turn-based strategy in our gaming future, but that's nothing new.

		The game's well-balanced, has a great story and characters (rare for a strategy game), and is incredibly addictive, but its biggest appeal is the sheer amount of stuff you can do.
