Gary Grigsby is one of the most renowned developers of wargames, starting his career way back in the early 80s. One of the few guys that deserve to have their name in game titles, together with such industry veterans like Sid Meyer, Chris Sawyer, John Tiller, and soon Chris Taylor in his upcoming Kings and Castles, that is if we only limit ourselves to the strategy genre.
Grigsby worked on many games across the years, including the critically acclaimed World at War which was developed by his own studio, but the most known series with him in the team was Steel Panthers. Today we're adding the third part, and the last "classic" one. The series was kept alive in the next millenium by Matrix Games and Shrapnel Games.
In the fans' eyes Steel Panthers III was partially a failure, with boring battles and long turns. Give it a try and tell us your opinion. We're going to say a big thank you to dkw for reviewing two Steel Panthers games in a row, because now we have the complete original trilogy on site.
