Crusader Kings II was released by Paradox Interactive today.  It is a Europa style game with a heavy religious undertone to it.  It could prove to quite an improvement over the previous Crusader Kings.  The game is not yet available on Steam and there is no word on when it will be.  Generally for Paradox games it can take a month or two for that to happen.  The game is however available from several other sources.

This could be interesting.  This game looks like it might be some playable version of Dwarf Fortress, but will it get anywhere near the level of detail?  It was announced at ParadoxCon 2012 and a trailer has been released.  It's slated for a release date around September 2012.  Paradox sometimes has the habit of releasing game too early though.  Paradox Interactive CEO addressed this at ParadoxCon 2012 and said that Paradox has learned from it's errors.  I really enjoy Paradox games but it is very disappointing to see games like Sword of the Stars II and Mount & Blade get released to early.  Anyways what little we see in the trailer looks somewhat promising.

Netropolis III is officially out of beta and is running live.  You will notice Netropolis feels a bit more modern with a chat windows and a scrollable map.  You can start your company now and begin performing dirty tricks immediately.  I will be working on the strategy guide for Netropolis III in the next few days, so look for updates!
