So a new Mount and Blade game is about to come out with the fairly weird name of....
Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword

Don't be fooled by the name, which for some reason doubles as a lackluster list of the game's content. Don't be fooled by the graphics, which look like the game was made by two people. Which it was. If the previous games in the series are anything to go by. and they are, because I said so, this new installment is going to be an addictive barrel of fun.
These games have a fun and unique combat system, replayability in the same league of the civilisation games, and the ability to command your own army while at the same time being in the think of it yourself.
Unless you're me, in which case you let the army sort themselves out while you charge ahead and gut archers on a pike while giggling maniacally.

All this is well and good, but what does this new game have to offer? Good question, hypothetical person I just made up right now. I'll let the steam description speak for itself.

I'm psyched. You should be psyched. I should be downloading the game right now, but it doesn't seem to have unlocked yet despite the timer running out.
