As such, though I’ve heard many, many good things about the Total War games over the years, it was a series I had never gotten around to playing, despite the fact that co-op campaigning was introduced in their last game, Napolean: Total War. I seldom play them competitively, preferring single-player and comp-stomp with friends. I dabble very casually in RTS games, and the ones I play tend to have more RPG elements integrated in them. I’ve been pretty excited about Shogun 2: Total War since I saw it for the first time at a SEGA Event last Fall.
