Medieval 2 Total War

It's an excellent feeling - the sense that the whole world is resting on your shoulders, that you alone are directing and shaping reality. Call it playing God if you will. I think of it as self-actualization. I'm reshaping my reality into the reality I want it to be.


According to highly-qualified web test this is consistent with my personality type (iNTj "Rational Mastermind") anyway. And Teh Internets never lie.


So... just thought I would do a little unsponsored advertisement. Medieval 2: Total War. It is only the sequel to the best game of all time, Rome: Total War. And from the looks of things, they kept all the great stuff from Rome and made it better - better graphics (now it looks mind-blowingly amazing, as compared to just spectacular graphics before - screenshots below), better sound, better gameplay, more animations, more units, a larger campaign, a longer campaign, smarter artificial intelligence, the whole deal. If it lives up to even half the hype surrounding it, it will be amazing.

Now for some screenshots.

(Byzantine Cataphracts - wouldn't want to mess with them)


(English Knights)

It's a lot of work to upload these pictures so I'm going to stop. You can find literally hundreds of them at IGN.com.

Go there. See pictures. Buy game.
