Each game in the series has outshone the previous one and Medieval 2: Total War is no exception.

Right now, kids can walk into just about any store and get their hands on a video game in which they can shoot police officers, use drugs, steal cars, rape women or even assassinate a president. That's frightening to say the least.

As poorly as we shot statistically, to still be in the game last night was impressive. We hit the big shots.

I had some kids play really hard at the end of the game to get us back in it - that was the positive.
