[PC] Total War: Rome II

[Sharkweather]

Release: September 3, 2013

I first got into the TW series with the Empire game, and neither the Napoleon or Shogun 2 games have interested me since. But this one, oh my goodness. The first one was good from all I've read I just never gave it a try because of its 2004 release, so I am glad it's getting a sequel.

There is still plenty of time to play the first. Still one of my favorite games, and second favorite RTS. The rest aren't even close to it.

Game releases Tuesday, I am off work Tuesday. I also do the schedule for work, so no coincidence there. Can't wait to re-imerse myself in Roman politics and battle.
