Wooooooaaah!!! Medieval 2:total war is the best game in the world!

Oh sorry to seem like a spammer, I haven't played it yet but I own it I have to wait till monday (in Australia) because this computer I'm using is a X-Mas present (I know it makes no sense, Shhhh!) But yea I am so excited to play it and I know it will be the best game because I have seen all the previews and even peoples videos.

Anywho see you guys around.
