It seems that Creative Assembly, the studio behind the long-running Total War series of history based strategy titles, is planning to create a sports title for publisher SEGA. The Brisbane team has posted a job listing which talks about a next generation sports title that is under development, with the team needing a... |

Any good battle opens with a cannonade. The key decision is whether to aim the fire at the artillery pieces of the enemy or whether to try and share their infantry units, destroying their cohesion and sapping their morale. Next, the two battle lines close, looking for geography features that can offer a local advanta... |

I am currently on holiday in Prague, sampling some of the best beer in the world, enjoying the historical heritage of the city and praying that it will not rain too much. But gaming is always on my mind and during this EndWeekGame piece, I would like to take a look at how even my vacation time is affected by gaming.S... |

I've been playing quite a bit of Napoleon: Total War in the last two weeks. I've now probably spent more time with it at this point than with its predecessor, Empire, which was launched last year and set to revolutionize the series by moving it to the musket and cannon era. And I will probably spend even mo... |

It's hard walking in the footsteps of Napoleon Bonaparte with the difficulty turned all the way up. Borodino might have just been the last straw. It took me quite a few tries to complete that battle and I needed to actually cool off between tries with the R.U.S.E. beta. It's telling that I actually lost alm... |

After the initiation at Lodi, a pretty simple setup where the only big danger is heading into the town directly, the Napoleon wannabe is tasked with winning another battle crucial to the North Italian campaign, the Battle of Arcole, which is much more of a problem. I lost this one on the first try mainly because of b... |

The most interesting aspect of Napoleon: Total War, which has now been out for a few days, is not the chance to take control of Napoleon's French side from both a tactical and a strategic aspect as they drudge through Northern Italy, as they face the British and the Ottomans in Egypt or as they face the might of... |

I am again the only voice talking about my gaming habits for the upcoming two days and I am tempted to pick two games that could not be more different, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 from Electronic Arts and DICE, and Napoleon: Total War from The Creative Assembly and SEGA.The Battlefield sequel is a much improved game o... |

Saying that Napoleon Bonaparte was ambitious is a sort of understatement. The diminutive French general was ready to take on Russia, Austria and any other coalition, which would stand in his way. He was a clear tactical genius but often lacked the strategic view needed to see that his efforts were ultimately destined... |

Games and their developers get their own award show, but the mod community's efforts are sometimes just as impressive, so it should only be fitting that mods themselves should get an award show as well. And, if anything, 2009 was a great year for game mods, as some very impressive ones have been put together. Mo... |

I've played the Total War series ever since Shogun introduced gamers to the mix of real time tactical combat and turn based strategic decisions. I'm one of those who complained about the shift to a 3D strategic map in Rome, thinking that it would complicate the game needlessly and take something out of the ... |

For about a week now, I've been playing King Arthur – the Role Playing Wargame, a title created by Neocore Games, which has also made Crusader - Thy Kingdom Come. And, despite some flaws, the game offers quite a unique and engaging experience that, as the name implies, uses a base structure similar to that... |

NeocoreGames has announced that it plans to release the English version of its King Arthur video game on November 12 through a variety of yet-unnamed digital-distribution channels. A boxed copy of the title is set to arrive in stores later in the year. It's interesting to see the developer offering the title as ... |

Quietly and in the shadow of the newest patch, dubbed 1.3, Creative Assembly put together and released the first downloadable content pack for Empire: Total War. It is called Elite Units of the West and can be bought via the Steam service from Valve for the equivalent of 3.99 dollars. The DLC offers 14 new units that... |

Empire: Total War has had quite a rough ride. When the game was released, because of the lack of pre-loading on Steam, the servers where overwhelmed and players had to wait in order to authenticate and play their games.After release, the game suffered from a variety of bugs, which Creative Assembly worked pretty hard... |

Empire: Total War is a great title. The reasons are well explained in our review of the game. The same review mentions the fact that many players experience a lot of bugs, most of them related to Crash To Desktops, which happen when clicking on some units or structures. Until now, Creative Assembly and SEGA have put ... |

One could argue that there are two significantly different periods in the history of the Total War series, as created by Creative Assembly: there are the first two games, Shogun and Medieval, where the strategic map is more of an excuse for players to get into the innovative (at that time) and beautiful tactical batt... |

One of the biggest changes that Creative Assembly has made in Empire: Total War is related to agents. In the previous games in the series, the player had the command of diplomats, who were needed to contact other nations; spies, who were handy in scouting ahead of the army; assassins, who were good at taking out gene... |

I said in the previous article dealing with Empire: Total War that long time players of the series made by The Creative Assembly had been asking for two gameplay elements to be improved in Empire, especially when looking at what Rome: Total War and Medieval 2: Total War offered. The two areas were the tactical Artifi... |

One of the best early things you can do for yourself and your faction in Empire: Total War is to research the Square formation for your infantry. Then, make sure you take a look at the special abilities button for your Line Infantry and make good use of the Square formation button, which makes your infantry unit move... |

One of the biggest changes that Empire: Total War made to the gameplay experience was for me the complete and utter disappearance of the rebel-controlled territories. I hardly noticed this when I first looked at the game map in the nation selection screen. It only made an impact in my mind when I took control of Aust... |

Console strategy games seem to be the next best thing on which developers and publishers are betting they'll make a few bucks.

Some people watching the videogames industry say that 2008 was not a great year, certainly not on par with 2007 and its late year releases of Portal, BioShock and Call of Duty: Modern War. And to some, 2009 seems even bleaker, with less than usual high profile titles announced and with an outlook threatened by the wo... |

Due to unknown reasons, the strategy title has been pushed back at least a month to sometime in March 2009. The delay will probably be exactly one month but t... |

One of the 2009 games I am most interested in is Empire: Total War, the latest entry into the long running series made by Creative Assembly.

Rome: Total War, with the excellent Europa Barbarorum mod, is still installed on my hard drive and getting plenty of my limited play time. Medieval 2: Total War was appealing, but overplaying the original Medieval when it came out meant that I wasn't as interested in the remake. Shogun got me interested in tacti... |

Creative Assembly is not a stranger to console development. Unfortunately, its video games, like Spartan: Total Warrior and Viking: Battle for Asgard, were less than stellar and certainly, their quality was well below that of the beloved Total War series, which, for now, is only available on the PC. But could a Total... |

The setting of the World War II has been used to death (literally) in games.

What should I get? A PC, a console or a ping pong table? What will win this war? Well, I'm pretty sure that the answer to that question will be provided in 2009 when all the major publishers will either go slow on consoles or start focusing more on the PC, or they'll shift gears and go full throttle into th... |
