I have a couple, and have about $200 worth on pre-order...and have been waiting a long time for them.

Ray has a love of SPI, and it shows in his games. In terms of mechanics, they feel very 1970s.

The game are physically smaller than I thought they would be. They are printed by Blue Panther, the same outfit that does Hollandspiele's games, so component quality is pretty good. Ray user the same map and counter artist as Tom & Mary as well, so there's some consistency in terms of art with Hollandspiele.

Rules and game mechanics are not consistent with Hollandspiele. Ray has been banging games out at a ferocious rate. I think QC has suffered. There are rules typos and inconsistencies.

I don't have the games you're talking about, so YMMV. I know Ray is committed to some quality improvements and he has striven to make good things that were wrong. I would say they are worth getting at a sale price, maybe a bit less at full price.

I actually don't really like games.

Wow. The new Ghost Recon really tanked

The shooter, launched in September, failed to crack the top five list of best-sellers last month.
