Unlocking as we speak... Checkmark ticked 'Play as soon as the game is ready'
Made a good cup of coffee and a sandwich. Ready 2: Total War

But then disaster struck! What was that sound? No it can't be! A baby's cry? Yes, yes, it's a baby's cry! It needs cleaning and food.. and thereafter it needs playtime with daddy, cause mommy is gone off to work... But my empire is waiting!?

Doh!

[JudgeDredd]

And it's here - and I have to go to bloody work!

Just arrived in London razn frazn mutley noises

Back to office after meeting? I don't think so

[JudgeDredd]

UCG where do you live?

[MikeGER]

... i stay on the fence (a hard exercise of self discipline;) ) there will be a sale  ...and maybe some AI patch in the meantime
i am not so into empire building, but like tactical battles over complicated terrain

unfortunately just in that department German language game magzin reviewers write this morn:   
condemn Creative Assemblies AI programmers to life on galley duty
and give a 5 of 10 in that catergory while other parts of the game get rated between  7/10  and 10/10
and an over all high score

so i wait for first Grogheads first-hand experiences AARs dropping in   

[FlickJax]

Looking at it on my desk top, cant play yet though as working :(

[Grim.Reaper]

Mine is already to go...fired up a quick historical battle just to see it and graphics looked good.  Had zero time to actually play so had to close it pretty quickly.  Will try tonight after work.

UCG where do you live?

Midlands - 98 percent of my job is overseas, the rest is London - occasionally I get to live in my house - in may this year it worked out to be 350 pounds a night for my rent to nights in house ratio! I could live in the Hilton for that 

[JudgeDredd]

For some bizarre reason I always thought you were a Brit living in the US!

What do you do for a living?

Sorry for OT by the way - but most people ain't playing yet anyway!

[Bison]

Absolutely beautiful game!


This one isn't the best, but I was very excited to watch the unit turtle up and cover from slinger fire all on it's own.


I love this feature.



Really cannot wait to sit down and get lost in this game. 

[undercovergeek]

Whilst some think I'm actually a spy I'm an operations manager for a conference and exhibition software company - but our clients are all over the world, my next adventure is Libya god help me!

Bison - how the hell are you playing it already - what time is it there? Good screenies - heading home shortly

[Bison]

And yes I'm in full Fan Boy, nerd hormones of over excitement mode right now!  15 minutes before I need to workout.  OMG!  I'm going to be late to workout!  ROME! ROME!  ROME!  Will be chanted in my head all day.
