I have Wargame:EE.
I started with pretty high expectations of the game, but I ended up being disappointed.
Yeah, the campaign is just OK, thanks to some inconsistent tactical AI. I like the idea of the campaign (Total War-style), but the execution just lacks something. I think the AI just isn't aggressive enough in the campaign mode. The AI is better in skirmish mode, however.
The rest of the improvements are all minor ones, so it's a steep $40 investment if you already have WEE. But I find WALB to be really, really fun (as I did WEE) in multiplayer.

Any of those who have played the beta have some input on the new game vs. the old one and user-friendliness?
The interface is better this time around, namely identifying units using icons (I used NATO symbols which works very well) instead if just with the names. I really like the game (I really liked WEE also).
It is kinda interesting, definitely a different approach since you have to balance the two sides while still allowing them to cause damage to each other and neutrals. It's challenging, too.
Single player is a lot of the same as Anomaly 1, but multiplayer is pretty fun.

What no Eador: Masters of the Broken World
I want it, but they've been blasting it in the forums for being super buggy and unfinished. Ima wait for a sale/ a few patches on it first.
I haven't experienced any major problems with it. Here's video of me playing it for almost an hour.
There is certainly mouse support. Co-op is far better than single player. Check out the game in my video impressions.

I haven't gotten mail about a review from you in ages... Are they being eaten by my horrid spam filtering mail server, or are you not sending them?
I have transitioned from written reviews to video impressions, so I didn't feel it was appropriate to post alongside reviews anymore.
I shot Dan from IGN (and made a snarky comment about it) while recording my video for ShootMania Storm, and I am quite proud of myself.
I played the open beta for a while and I liked it. More simplified, less random luck, lots of jumping and dodging.

Will this be the beta phase that preorder purchases give you access to?
Yes.
Short games are fine...but not for $60.
Here's video of me playing the beta for twenty-two minutes and forty-eight seconds, if you are interested.

I wish the critics were taking less EA ad money
All of the reviews that came out before release were done at a press-only event at EA HQ last weekend using limited numbers of players on one (most likely low ping) server. Obviously, none of the server connection issues could be assessed in such a closed environment. Personally, it doesn't matter how good or bad a game may be if you cannot play it.

Great developers, huh?
I liked Kohan and Section 8.
2nd favorite game of last year, right behind Crusader Kings 2.
Still playing NS2, and I enjoy it so much more than your typical online shooter thanks to the strategy elements that make each game different.

Hope it's not to arcade'ish.
Omerta's main issue is a lack of depth: it's too easy to succeed and you end up doing the same thing each mission. At least it has the tactical battles to vary things up a bit.

They had a review embargo lasting until two weeks after the game came out on Steam? Lol..
Yeah, the PR guy from Kalypso wanted me to wait until the retail release date to post the video (I didn't realize PC games were still sold at retail). I actually had it done a month ago as the review version was handed out the beginning of January. Seems like some other sites did not have the same restrictions, as they posted reviews when the game hit Steam.
