hello all... just joined, first post... along the alternative lines, i know it's not sci-fi, but Total War has got some good stuff going on... i've played "Shogun: Total War" in and out, and have to say it is a truly magnificent piece of work... quite different from any Dune game, but loaded with historical relevance, tons of background info, and really nice battlefield graphics... "Medieval: Total War" is the latest, soon to be followed by "Rome: Total War"... i'm not that familiar with Medieval, but i can't recommend Shogun highly enough... interestingly, i see a common thread between Dune 2K > Emperor and Shogun > Medieval... in both cases, the newer games (Medieval and Emperor) *look* better (better 3D, better graphics in general), but both seem to have lost a "little something" in the process... i agree with Duncan_Ghola to this end; Dune 2K seemed to have more of that "Dune feel" to it than Emperor, even though Emperor is leaps and bounds above its predecessor in almost every other aspect... imagine Dune 2K with the graphics of Emperor; now that would be one helluva game! regards, Maneo227 BTW: Duncan_Ghola, your sig has been killing me... it's Soundgarden isn't it? maybe from "Down on the Upside"? just curious...
