IMG has posted a review of Crusader Kings, the latest game from Virtual Programming. Crusader Kings is a strategy game in which the player manages a medieval dynasty, fulfilling obligations to their leige, vassals, and church while trying to keep their lineage intact and prosperous.

Here's a clip from the review:

The first and foremost problem and advantage with Crusader Kings is its sheer length. Even at its fastest speed, a year takes five to ten minutes, and the game can last almost four hundred years. This assumes that nothing happens and you do absolutely nothing. After a week and a half of play, I'd only advanced one century playing as the Byzantines, and there were two and a half centuries remaining. As an added feature, the saved game can be imported into EU II and from there into Victoria. In other words, with all three you could play the same world from 1066 to 1922. This functionally means that there can be three or four months of play starting with one session. This is good value, but it can get tedious, especially with the time that saving a game takes.
