The Creative Assembly sure have been around. They’ve been to feudal Japan and the Middle Ages, taken a trip to the Roman Empire, and even stopped for tea with the East India Company during the 18th Century. With each iteration of the Total War series you’ve seen new gameplay elements, powerful graphical engines, and new time periods to strive and conquer. But now it’s time for The Creative Assembly to come full circle, returning to the game that started it all with Shogun 2: Total War.
GamersGate unveiled its classical Week-End sale and you can now get some of the greatest PC 2K Games titles discounted by 75%. Headliners are The Bureau : XCOM Declassified, Borderlands : GOTY, Bioshock 1 & 2, NBA 2K14 and The Darkness II.

There are actually some pretty good deals here, and a wide variety of games for everyone
Splitkick: If you’ve never played a Total War game, Shogun 2 is one of the most-universally praised games in the long-running series, and Creative Assembly has done a yeoman’s job in making it approachable yet deep. If, like me, you’ve been wanting to play it for quite some time, but haven’t installed the copy you bought on sale ages ago, do it before Rome 2 comes out this fall. Pardon me while I go assault Kyoto.
Ironhammers: We’ve now got a third member on our PC gaming podcast and will be broadcasting via Google Hangouts On Air, once a week. The format stays roughly the same for now, but new segments are dripping their way into the show — and we added a ‘Topic of the Week’ segment, which this week was focused on the trials and tribulations of always online DRM.
