This is probably going to be the first PC game I'll have bought since Warcraft 3 came out. Who else is likely to pick it up?

Demo actually wasn't that great, but based on the first two games, it can't be anything else but fantastic.
Shogun is magnificent, Medieval was even better and then the Viking Invasion expansion really did scrape the urine off the top to polish off what was already an awesome sequel.
Nabbing this beauty tonight.

Biggles I thought you played more PC games...
In saying that, I did say last game I bought. I've played Half Life etc since then. Borrowed Doom 3.
I'm trying to figure out a way of unlocking the copy of Half Life 2 I currently have on my hard drive. Gotta love steam at times.

It was pi*s. The game told you what to do (if you couldn't work out a simple hammer/anvil aattack) and you just waited 15 seconds, then attacked.
But the game will rule all RTS ever.
Anyway, I picked this up today and yeah, it's wonderful.
The Medieval demo was also poop, it gave you troops you'd never used before and just let you defend hopelessly against an army twice your size.
The full game rock though, the latest issue of PCGamer has a huge fold out advertisement at the front. "Epic" doesn't even begin to describe the size of the game.
