Battle of Tiles was Gametunnel's Strategy Game of the Year for '08, which is a little like Robert Parker deciding that the wine of the year was a $15 Malbec from Mendoza. (As I may be the only gamer / wine snob mutant in existence, let me explain that some really good “value” wines come out of Argentina's Mendoza valley, but no-one expects them to compete with $200+ bottles from Napa or Bordeaux.) Gametunnel's review of the game says: “I had about four hours of fun and at $5 that seems more than reasonable.”
Four hours of fun for $5 isn't bad, but that's not game of the year criteria.
