The heat is ON! in the Shogun 2 intro

Video: The total war for Japan is about to begin next month, and the new intro trailer for Shogun 2 already has our mouths watering...

So, don't kill us, but as we speak (type? read?) we're downloading review code of Shogun 2. That means you'll be able to read our full review in the next issue - we're only doing this for you, the reader, after all.

Because as you know, we're not at all fans of the series. Oh no...

However, for all the rest of you that have to wait until the game's release next month on the 15th, we've got the intro cinematic for the game. And it's full of awesome samurai awesomeness. In fact, we kinda want to ditch work and go home and watch The Seven Samurai...

Definitely waiting on reviews for this one. If it is as much of a complete buggy mess that Empire was then I won't be touching it.

I certainly won't be relying on breathless gasping reviews from journalists who wouldn't know decent AI if it smashed them in the face.
