I accidentily sort of bought Rome: Total War and Empire Earth II the other day while I was at the shops. I've spent the last two days mostly playing Total War. I'm still only just figuring out how it works, but what a fantastic game it is. So satisfying to get it right, and I reckon that's what real gaming is all about. It's the satisfaction of having your city running well. The satisfaction of finishing a Sonic level in 23 seconds. The satisfaction of watching your 9 light cavalry charge into the flank of 30 heavy infantry and seeing them rout. There are so many possibilities. You can fire flaming rocks at fleeing peasants. I've never found violence so entertaining. I want to play with other people, because the computer falls for the feint every time. But goodness me there is so much fun and mayhem to be had. And for only $25 too.

I haven't even opened Empire Earth. That might have to wait until after my exams.
