This is a press release put on the official Total War website. It announces, and advertises, the upcoming Empire Total War game. The Sega team hit it big with Shogun Total War, Rome Total War and Medieval Total War. They reached the stratosphere with Medieval II Total War and hope to replicate that success with Empire. For anyone who has ever loved the Age of Sail you can expect Empire to target you.

Below is the press release, complete with eye candy, for your pleasure.

Empire: Total War will be the greatest and most awe-inspiring Total War experience ever. This is a total revolution of the Total War series, featuring a brand new graphics engine and technology. The new, advanced graphics engine will include staggering real-time seascapes, new advanced landscape and flora systems, dynamic weather and new battle choreography and occupy-able and destructible battlefield buildings.

    Empire: Total War will not only be the most visually stunning Total War game, it will also feature a huge array of new features and gameplay. These add rich new layers of grand strategy to the formula and yet, despite this, E: TW will be the most accessible Total War game in the series.

    The game is set in the years 1700 to the early 1800’s, a turbulent age of gunpowder, revolution, discovery and Empire Building. This period has all the ingredients for a great Total War title: fascinating changes in warfare and its technology, a large number of competing factions hungry for power, and gloriously exciting and colourful battles. This is a time when an old world is being swept away at a tremendous rate by the juggernaut of the industrial age. Revolutionary ideas are in the air, and at least one monarch meets a bloody end!

      One of my Digg friends, Gnome, is a video game fanatic!  He is all about retro games and free games and video games in general.  So, he has this blog that is kickass and that is partly why I don’t talk Video Games here much anymore.  Why duplicate when his content is of the high caliber it is?  When I saw his 100 Excellent Free Games in Bloom post I knew I had to share it with all of you.

      Instead of reposting his content, or in other words stealing it, I’m going to share my faves from his list.  I know 100 is a lot of titles but I’ve whittled it down to a handful must haves.  If you want the complete list just click the link above to his post and you can see all 100 titles plus pictures.

      That does it for my picks.  Five free games you must have and once you do I know you won’t stop playing them for countless hours.  You’re destined to be up till 3 am and later getting it done.
