I’m not terribly fond of RTS games, but I’ve heard good things about SEGA’s Total War series. If you are one of these who speak highly of this game, you’ll be glad to know that SEGA have announced a standalone expansion pack for Total War: Shogun 2, next year. If you’re still a bit confused as to what a standalone expansion pack is, it’s basically an expansion pack that doesn’t require the base game like Crysis Warhead or Half-Life: Blue Shift.
Fight with honour
Shogun 2’s expansion pack is called the Fall of the Samurai and it will include “39 new units, new weapons, ten new ship types, three new agent types on the campaign map to choose from, four new historical scenarios, and brand new siege-battle mechanics.” This pack is expected to hit stores in March 2012 for a price that’s not been announced yet.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
