New Total War E3 Announcement Rumour

napoleantw1[1]


There’s a rumour reported by bigdownload.com that a new Total War game will be announced at E3 which starts on June 15th this year. The rumour reportedly says that the new game will apparently go back to basics in terms of its weapons use. It seems to mean that it will be ditching gun powder for sword and shields. No other details are available at the moment and a SEGA rep said ‘he can’t confirm this’. I’m being very careful here to not have any expectation of a new game. Just keep in mind this is not confirmed as is just that, a rumour. Creative Assembly has a new twitter feed that might shed some hints on this.

Hearts of Iron III Review

hoi3preview[1]

It’s been a while since Paradox’s World War II grand strategy game was released back at 2009. I’ve never reviewed this game, and with the release of patch 1.4, I thought it would be a great opportunity to jump back in and had a look at this game. For the uninitiated, Hearts of Iron III is a grand strategy game that allows you to take control of any one nation during the period of World War II(1936 to 1948). Like all Paradox games, it’s all in real time.
