Shogun 2: Total War Cinematic Gameplay Trailer

shogun2preview

Creative Assembly released the first ever cinematic gameplay trailer for the upcoming Shogun 2: Total War. The trailer uses the in game battle engine with cinematic camera and scenes and doesn’t show off any user interface. More importantly, it still doesn’t answer the pertinent question of what will they do to the campaign map. Trailer after the jump.

My General Distaste For Profiteering Triple A Publishers

Well StarCraft II is upon us, and soon everyone will be giving this game glowing reviews. I wont be doing this because I wont be buying StarCraft II(probably not, as it stands now). This is mainly because StarCraft II turns out to be the most expensive PC game ever to be sold in Malaysia. At RM248, the South East Asian region version looks to be the most expensive version. Which frankly doesn’t make much sense. The Americans are paying USD60 and we have to pay equivalent to USD$77.
