I wrote a review for Total War: Pharaoh and I think it would have been better if it went down the route of Troy; using the ancient Egyptian mythology to flesh out the unit roster. What do you think? It doesn't feel like a mainstream TW game. It feels like a Troy.

Apparently, one of the first things Microsoft did was increase the price point on Activision games.

It's a done deal! Finally. How do you think this will change the power balance between Xbox and PlayStation?
