i've been severely hooked on 'Anno:1404 - Dawn of Discovery'.

the easiest way to describe it so far is like simcity crossed with civilization during the middle ages. it's more of a 'city building' game where the focus is primarily on developing your island colonies and managing ocean trade routes. i'm up to the 6th of 8 missions in the campaign and have yet to develop a land army and only started building combat capable ships on the last mission.

anyone looking for a change of pace from the typical run and gun FPS games or 'new' sports/racing titles (with updated rosters / shinier cars!!!) will find plenty of game to chew on with this title.
