Being Napoleon means to be at war, at all times, and in all places. Making friends with people that aren't French is not really on the top of the list of things to do. On the battle field is where you belong, with your troops who are individual people, each with a different face, and some with what look like the same exact faces. There's nothing like watching a battalion of four hundred troops charging at an enemy force head-on, or getting them to scale city walls to take out the garrisoned forces from up high. From the grass blowing in the wind, to the debris from artillery strikes clouding your view, to the sun blazing down on a cavalry skirmish.

BLG writes: "I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that the Total War series features some of the best strategy games ever made. And yet, not all Total War games were created equally. None of these games are necessarily bad but some are definitely better than others. Much better. With that in mind, I decided to take a look at all the Total War games released so far and attempt to rank them all from worst to best. "

Why do IGN UK and AU reviews almost always have lower scores than their US counterparts? Do the reviewers for those sites want to look "tougher" than the Americans?
