Think Risk with RTS combat. The first Total War games were a blast and this one is definitely looking good.

Ain't even half-way through 2003 yet, I'm sure there will be just as many impressive titles coming out Q3/Q4 this year that will be bursting with eye candy. Eye candy is only a part of what makes a game great though...

Oh, and I see no blood or gore... that will lower it from great to "okay" in my rating system, unless there are hot naked ladies... then it'll bump it back up to great.

Yep, the Total War games are fabulous!

If you like Tactical combat sprinkled with some strategic thinking, then these are games for you.

The Total War games have been excellent so far.

I didn't buy medieval total war because it was just a clone of Shogun Total War (and sadly, since it was their first installment of the game, they made huge blunders with it, but the game was still fun).

I just hope this new Total War does not have the silly "rules of fighting" (aka, spear beats cavalry, AI never runs out of stamina or gold, fantasy units like battlefield ninja and Kensai, no swordsmen, AI not having the penalty of delayed command (player has to move mouse and scroll but AI could move all 12 units at once..grr), etc etc).

I'm looking forward to how SW:G pans out and that game called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. That looks like an interesting concept.

There will be some gore in RTW. Perhaps there will be a mod that adds more.

BTW I really advise getting hold of the RTW video off fileplanet etc. It is truly awesome. It's like the opening scene from Gladiator crossed with Braveheart - blue faced barbarians versus well-drilled Romans.

Got my eye on Lock on - Modern Air Combat (lo-mac)
Its not out yet and still in the process of being made but from what ive seen from the site so far it looks like one hell of a game.

Lo-Mac

Total War was great, but the multiplayer system sucked, you couldnt play the campain mode in multiplayer!
