    [​IMG] I am in one of those moods where I want something new and I was wondering if anyone knows If 'Heroes of Might and Magic: Platinum Edition' is worth a spin. Not moneywise but just the enjoyment value.

    If you have never played any Heroes of Might and Magic game before you are now looking at the best turn based (fantasy) strategy game ever created. Thus buy it with all haste and enjoy Heroes II, III which are the very best of the series.

    I'll second Apeman's vote, Heroes II and III are brilliant and worth the money alone. And as it has all the expansions for II and III definite buy.

    I looked at the reviews and stuff and it looks great, how different is it from Age of Wonders?

    Better, much better IMO, I always felt AOW was an inferior copy of HOMM.

    My favorites were 1 & 3. 1 for the cartoony atmosphere and relative simplicity (an excellent intro to the HoMM series), and 3 for just the awesomeness of the game. I still play it every once in a while when I get an urge.

    I place Homm3 as one of the most addictive games I've played, second only to Civilization. The number of hours I've poured into it and its expansions are, again, second only to Civ.
