Normally, I stay clear of hyping new games, but I thought I'd mention our Historical Simulation game here, because it's truly special:
http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratalltime
In this game, we've picked the top 35 teams of all time (e.g. 53' Dodgers, 27' Yanks) and allowed you to pick players from them. Then over a 162-game season, we simulate games for you against other members head-to-head using STrat-O-Matic's gaming engine.
The results have been spectacular. You need to think about things like batting order (do I bat Joe Morgan first or second?), pitching order, when you use closers and set-up men, and whether you platoon players.
I'm normally not this effusive or self-promotional, but please take a look at the game. It's the best things we've built, in my opinion, over the last year.

Act NOW, and we'll also include a free, Heroes-of-the-hall bobble-head collection. Want Babe Ruth on your dashboard? Ty Cobb jitter-bugging in your kitchen? Act NOW - teams are going FAST.
