If you're a fan of the Heroes of Might & Magicseries, you may know that its inspiration was a 1990 game by New World Computing called King's Bounty. You may also know that King's Bounty got a 2008 remake called King's Bounty: The Legend, and that it was very well received (because it's very, very good). You may also know that this year, King's Bounty: Armored Princess was released, a standalone expansion / sequel that reviewed similarly well.

If you have not yet played either or both of these, they are on sale right now in a pack from Steam for eleven dollars. That is completely insane. They can also be had for $5 and $10 respectively, if you already have one of the other.

These are widely regarded (rightly, from what I've played of The Legend) as some of the best fantasy strategy games of recent years, and they aren't going to get any cheaper or convenient than this. You're also getting a ton of game, for the price. Bill Harris really loved it, I recommend yougo read why if you're not sure whether or not you're interested. He says most of the stuff I would say about it, and probably better.
