This is a cool X-box game I played the other day. It's basically a combination RTS/RPG game. Basically the background is this:

You are one of the captians of the Army of the good, and war has broken out between your side and the Dark Side. From your little corner of the world, along the enemies's border, you must defeat them.

It's structered like Rome: Total War for the RTS part, excep that when your unit engages the enemy in melee combat, you take charge of your character personally and go around killing enemies. The more enemies you kill, the more experience you gain, etc., which you can use in getting new skills and stuff. Use gold from enemies destroyed to buy new weapons and equipment for both your and your men.

Thank you Kraken. I was looking at this the other day but found myself unable to make a choice. Might have to check it out now.

Also something else that is different is the magic element. Just today I equipped one of my knights the ability to call down a meteor shower on an enemy formation. And one of my swords has the ability to freeze enemies after I strike them, meaning they can't counter-attack me while I hack them to pieces.

I enjoyed the first KuF, though I think there's a new one out now right? Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes, or something?

There is - it's actually a prequel to the first game, but just as good. Even a few improvements.

Yeah, totally. I'm going to go get it, I think... can't be screwed back tracking to KuF: Crusaders; I'm all about the evolution of prequels, after all.

Futureshop here I come! Wooo Hoo...

No wait. EBgames is closer. Holler.

Like you fuckin' care, Marge.

It's China Town.

Zoot!
