Rome: Total War

My birthday was last month, and my brother gave me the game Rome: Total War.  I suggested it as a possible gift idea because it received high marks on several game review sites.  I have been spending most of my free time playing it these last few weeks (and that's partly why I've not had any blog entries).  The game takes place around the formation of the Roman empire.  It features interactive battles with reasonably realistic landscapes, fortified cities, and armies of thousands of 3D animated soldiers, replete with emotions, and of course 3D sound.  It is an impressive game.   I just finished the full imperial campaign, which took most of these last weeks.
