Hearts of Iron 3 released

Hearts of Iron 2 was one of my favorite strategy PC games of all time, and I am not alone in that belief by any stretch. It had a number of flaws, but due to the huge community of mod makers and scores of developer interaction and patches, much of these issues were improved upon years after release. This community interaction by paradox interactive is nearly unheard of in this day of PC gaming, and the fact that they continue updating all their titles, 4 or more years after release, is reason enough to be excited that Hearts of Iron 3 has finally arrived.

The Skidrow group has had a working torrent version of the game out for a few weeks now, but this is a game you really need to buy the full version of. If supporting the developers of a quality strategy PC game (not a strong gaming market) isn't reason enough to buy it, you should know there is already a 1.1 version patch out, and 1.2 is scheduled for release by the end of this month. If you don't have the retail version you will miss out on all these updates and improvements, which there will be plenty of knowing the quality update history of other Paradox Interactive games.
