Shogun II is amazing.

Doubt I will ever finish that first campaign, though. lol.

I loved Rome, but the demo of Shogun II sold me on getting it.

Think I have all of them except Napoleon as I heard it wasn't great compared to everything else. But at the prices going around lately, it's not a major buying decision. :)

I've heard tons of good about Shogun II making it easily worth $10.

I bought it on a 'great' sale for $30 and haven't played it, similar to poster above.

Can I pay $9.99 for it on Amazon.com with me being in the UK? :D

Amazon.co.uk want about $11 off me and want me to wait for a box. What is that nonsense all about and what is a game in a box?!

weird that it isn't available for download, considering that you will have to use Steam, regardless.

I paid ~$27 for Shogun II, and it is well worth it if you like any of the Total War games.

Yeah Shogun 2 uses steamworks. In fact all the total war games do. I think Amazon has updated all their product descriptions to include a bullet that says a steam account is required. It's usually on the bottom. Much better than before when you had no way of knowing for sure. What's worse is there's some games like M&B Warband that can be activated on Steam but only if they have a certain cd key format. Most copies of the game won't activate on Steam.

No they don't.
