Over the last six years, the Total War series has blown strategy/war gamers away with a unique blend of highly tactical real-time battles and deep economic/political strategy elements.
The series was the first tactical war game to allow the player to control very large 3D-based armies without serious performance issues (well, assuming you had a decent PC). This was such a feat that the History Channel's Decisive Battles TV show used the Total War engine to recreate famous battles in history.
The three games in the series - Shogun: Total War, Medieval: Total War, and Rome: Total War have all received excellent review marks.
In a few weeks, Sega will be releasing Medieval 2: Total War. In honor of the game's stupendous run, we decided to highlight some great moments from the series' history.
Enjoy!
Rome: Total War - 2004
Total control of so many troops at your finger tips
Elephants, yeah Rome: Total War has those too
Medieval: Total War - 2002
Shogun: Total War - 2000
Shogun: Total War is like Risk, but 945,315.33 times better
