I fully agree with the review. It states everything I feel as well.

Big budget game companies better take notice of the gameplay mechanics in this game, because they could learn a thing or hundred for the mediocre games they pay big money to produce.

Same here. I went to HOTU and looked up all games released in 2005. Tried out this game, and Zombie Smashers 2. I decided to buy this one

A well-written review that did capture what I like about the game also.

I would take exception to the first sentence though, M&B is not a medieval life simulationbut a medieval combat simulation - which the author does point out towards the end when he say it's the combat (and the horses) that kept him playing.

An interesting review and I hope more people check M&B and know what the game is (and isn't) about.

Well, it is the same review that was posted quite a long time ago - notice the inverted commas around more or less the entire text except the introductory paragraph? No wonder it seems familiar.

In other news, I'm back, although most people wouldn't have noticed my absence. I'm sort of disappointed there's no further update yet.

It's a nice preview, but as some have pointed out, it's age-old. It's been on the main page since May. :p

Didn't mind giving it another read, though.

Oh, that explains it. As I was reading it I thought several times "This is familiar. Have I already read this?"

Which means there isn't as much "increasing interest" as one might hope?

Mechstra, (long time no post), no update in a while, and sort of a "don't mention it, don't bother us" vibe about it.

Personally, my M&B fever is long over and I only play every other day now. One of my heroes is on day 1100, and he's tired of it all.

I need another update and the ever-elusive 'New Stuff' to rekindle passion in M&B. Battlefield 2 and other games hold my attention now.
