I've always enjoyed the Fire Emblem series (Including the Japanese ones), along with FF, and most of the Pokemon series (can't get myself to play Gen II and earlier).
My favorite one is World in Conflict: Soviet Assault. I would give it 9/10. I even spent some nights playing this game. I recommend it to all who loves strategy games. As I know it was created with Jens Jungmark. Maybe it was the last game he worked on.
Finished the game and its dlcs at every difficulty;
I simply love the main story, it's tangled around many things and people and it changes the way you progress; the characters are also well made and you will simply fall in love with the protagonist.
