Medieval 2 Total War
VE Votes 2006: Best First-Person-Shooter? This week's VE poll asks, What was the best first-person-shooter from 2006? Vote on your right! And no, Gears of War isn't a FPS, which is why it isn't included (cough). I didn't put HL2: Episode 1 in there either, as its an expansion pack, but did include Sin Episodes because it is a stand-alone game.
Here are the results from last week's strategy poll: VE Votes 2006: Best Strategy Game? 'Medieval II: Total War' Goes Gold - Screens Medieval 2: Total War is the latest release from the highly acclaimed developer, The Creative Assembly, who SEGA made headline news by acquiring in 2005. The game boasts an impressive array of new graphical and gameplay enhancements, including the capability for a massive 10,000 dynamic characters to be taken into battle at any one time. On top of this, The Creative Assembly have implemented a fully redesigned multiplayer mode that offers a dynamic multi-battle campaign bolstered by an unprecedented level of visceral combat choreography that reflects the brutality of medieval warfare. Medieval 2: Total War offers a vastly enhanced terrain model to create new graphically rich environments portraying breathtaking cliff top castles and enhanced settlement features that are unique to each civilisation.
A QUEENSLAND-based games developer looks like rewriting the record books. Creative Assembly, a company owned by Sega with offices in Fortitude Valley, is releasing Medieval Total War 2 and not only does the game look like being a corker, but it is also on track to being the largest selling PC game developed in Australia. The game will feature a cavalcade of 3D combatants from a pivotal period in world history. The game's focus will be on the years 1080 to 1530, with battles taking place in Europe, the Middle East and even the freshly discovered Americas. Medieval will feature more unusual factions this time like the Aztecs, as well as the usual European and Middle Eastern powers.
The game will feature an in-depth strategic campaign mode as well as massive real-time battles as you try to prevail in a particular region. Australian "Game Of The Year" Announced The Australian developer community isn't exactly the world's biggest, but it's always been a quality-over-quantity kind of affair. Tribes: Vengeance, Freedom Force, Transformers Armada, Destroy All Humans and Rome: Total War being the most noteworthy games Aussie devs have crafted/played a significant role in over the past few years. Feature: 16 Reasons Why We Love Total War 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. Medieval II: Total War goes gold SEGA today announced that the highly anticipated PC Real Time Strategy game Medieval II: Total War has gone gold and will release across Europe on November 10th and in North America on November 14th 2006. Developed by the acclaimed RTS studio The Creative Assembly, this visually stunning game spans the turbulent period of 1080 1530 and hands PC gamers the reigns in an attempt to become the greatest power of the Medieval World. Medieval II: Total War is the latest game in the multi-award winning Total War series and is the follow up to the 2005 Strategy Game Of The Year, Rome: Total War. Medieval II: Total War has already proven a worthy successor, gaining prestigious awards from renowned PC gaming magazines PC Gamer (94%), Gamestar (91%), PC Zone (91%) and PC Powerplay (90%). Medieval II: Total War is one of the most complete strategy experiences available and a benchmark title within PC gaming. |
