At long last, today marks the day that Creative Assmebly's historical strategy simulator Empire: Total War (PC) arrives. You can find it at stores, or just download it on Steam.

In celebration, publisher Sega issued a new trailer. But will I ever see fellow editor Nick Breckon again? He's been obsessed with the demo. In fact, the entire reason I posted this was because he'd probably read it, and someone needs to remind him to eat.

This gives me chills. I've played the demo 3 times and this game is downloading slowly but surely now via Steam. I cannot wait to get home.

  I think you and I are the only people on the Shack that are properly excited for this game.

    Are you crazy, I can't wait to get home and play this. I'm a complete Total War junkie. You are not alone my friend.

    Hardly. Although I'm trying to maintain realistic expectations, but it should be great nevertheless. ;-)

    You're not the only ones. When I went to pick up my Collector's Edition today, that I really can't afford, the clerk said that despite all the new games and recent releases, this has been the game most called about and asked for. Cheered me up quite a bit!

    We should team up for an alliance after the patch. What faction are you going to play?

    Not at all , I'm just looking forward to the full multiplayer patch. I bought it today but still am getting into DoWII. I've always wanted a Revolutionary War timeframe game done well like this.
