A strategy game where you take on the role of one of several Cthulu like ancient eldritch creatures with different characteristics and abilities then subtly corrupt a procedurally generated fantasy world.

The original Mount and Blade was a jerky, but wonderful and immersive medieval Action-RPG with really satisfying combat along the ability to raise an army to take over the land, siege castles and establish an empire, all from the ground level of a footman. The sequel offers this and much more with enhanced sieges, destructable terrain, enhanced diplomacy and many more options.

A wonderful tactical RPG with an awesome sense of scale. A mix of Bioware style RPG goodness and tactical gameplay reminiscent of Xcom or a 4x game. Command the crew of a Starship through a plot rife with political turmoil. Engage in naval warfare whilst simultaneously boarding a ship with marines. Conquer territory and negotiate with rivals. Explore strange alien worlds and get eaten by the slime monster.

Chris Robert's hugely ambitious melding of Spaceship Simulator and FPS gameplay allows you to do whatever you dreamed of. Be it piloting a spaceship, getting boots on the ground as a marine, or exploring the furthest reaches of an open universe. And that's before we get into the fully featured single player campaign. Star Citizen remains one of my most anticipated games of the last few years.
