First, never going to see its likes again? What does that make War in the East?

Second. Their re-releases of older games, like Harpoon, TOAW and Eagle Day/Bombing the Reich, are excellent, at least the ones I have. TOAW in particular received some massive updates that would not have happened if Matrix didn't re-release it. As for their new games, quite a few of them (War in the Pacific, obviously, as well as War in the East, Battles from the Bulge...) rank as some of the best games in their genre in my opinion.

Well, I admit I haven't played quite a few of their games yet, but most games from Matrix I have are excellent. Their real problem is that most of their games are overpriced and they rarely drop their prices.
