Empire: Total War is easily one of the most annoying PC games I have ever played. Although grand in its ambition, its poor implementation ultimately makes for a buggy and badly optimized mess of a game.
Sure it's huge and fairly deep, and it offers some of the best visuals this side of the genre divide, but this means little if a game plays badly. It's like a supermodel with a bad attitude; for all its potential, its crabby petulance is likely to keep you at arm's reach, never really enjoying what could have been a lot of fun.
It’s Total War Week at the Humble Store. Games in the popular strategy franchise are up to 75 percent off.
PC Invasion: Classic Total War games such as Medieval II, Empire, and Napoleon now have their Definitive Editions which includes all the DLC. Players who already own the respective base games get the DLC as a free update.
If you didn't know, Time Commanders was a TV show that ran for 3 series back into the early noughties.
