If you long for the days when Dungeon Keeper played havoc with your free time, then Majesty 2 should be right up your alley. It's both fun and has that parody humor so often seen in this genre such as in Evil Genius. Its flaws prevent it from being as good as those classic games but it's still the best this genre is going to offer you for the very near future and is worthy addition to your strategy collection.
Twitch Prime members can claim May's Free Games with Prime lineup and add even more games to their collection.
Starting May 1st, members will be able to claim:
Whispering Willows

Majesty 1
Majesty 2
Members also still have until April 30 to claim April’s Free Games With Prime, including Her Story, InnerSpace, Joggernauts, and Keep in Mind.
The Strategy Gamer looks at how several games break the God-game mold that seems to plague the genre.
"March, my people, into battle. Even though you are 500 miles away, and radios have not yet been invented, instantly obey my commands. It’s good to be the king.
Strategy games often put the player in the stated position of king or emperor, allowing them to guide a nation in totalitarian fashion. It is an odd paradox that while so many games put you in a position of supreme leader, so few model it with any degree of authenticity."
"GamersGate are currently holding offers of 40% off on Mass Effect 2"
"Last but definitely not least is the ‘Nordic week’ sale that’s currently on at GamersGate. Various games from the Nordic Games catalogue are up for sale including games such as Painkiller and even the Gothic franchise"
