One of these games is Jagged Alliance 2. Released in 1999, it was a sequel to the relatively unknown Jagged Alliance (except for a few hardcore gamers). Despite the “good” (as in just above average) reviews and close-to-no attention, it managed to climb to the second place of 10 most sold games here in just a week. Naturally, such a game must be interesting to check out, I thought, so I downloaded the demo of it and was quite impressed by what I saw, but something kept me from buying the full game itself. Maybe I didn’t feel like it was that worthy of my attention, and I soon almost forgot about it.

Then, about a year later, when my friend bought it, told me it was good, and I saw it cheap, I thought “might as well try it”. I was totally blown away by it. I will give my reasons in the review following, and hope that you, as well as I, will find it one of the best games ever made.
