"Actually, the biggest knock on TB games is that they make for very slow multiplayer games. Most people get frustrated if they have to wait 1/2 an hour between turns. In addition, the market for them isn't nearly as big as for RTS games, so its harder to justify the budget. For the record, I love turn based games (Gold Box, Warlords, Panzer General, X-com) but its really tough to sell them to the mass market. I think it works for RPGs (like PoR) because that's the way the pen & paper game works and because there's no expectation of massive head to head, online combat."
