In ETW, do the factions now attack each other over seas?

Yes, the AI is significantly improved on release, still not great though.
However, download Darthmod Ultimate Commander mod, and you will have the most brutal campaign experiance of all the total wars.

I was wondering if this was worth getting- does it provide a decent challenge? I've heard people describe it as too easy.

First 2-3 years are difficult but once you have export sorted it gets easier, some scenarios are bit of a challange. It's a good game and makes you smile.

I bought Blur too.
It is a good game, but weirdly demanding. If I put everything to minimum incl. 640*480 res and vsync off, I still only get 40 fps maximum! Pretty shocking.
And when I put everything to max, 1920*1200, 4*AA, I get 20-25 fps, which it super uncomfortable/unplayable.

I have C2D 3.0ghz, gtx280 1gb, 4gb ram

Really weird and makes me unhappy. I wonder if the bottleneck is the CPU or what. Still, it is really badly optimized. Shift runs like dream and looks miles and miles better.

Strange, I run it on maximum but at 1680x1050 and it's smooth as silk. E8400, HD5850 and 4GB RAM. I wouldn't have thought a 5850 would have made that much difference over a GTX 280 but I've lost track of hardware characteristics.

It's a nice enough game, though. Good for a bit of fun against all the usual seriousness that I get up to on Counter Strike and racing sims.

Blur players - how many peeps are in the multiplayer area?

Not a great deal said there was about 60 total when I played an hour ago!

Seems easy to set up games though, so if we get a lot us from here we could still get some games going.

My name in Blur is 'tom113'.
 
Alpha Protocol is better than I was expecting. Plays like a more linear Deus-Ex with prettier graphics.

The hacking controls are astonishingly poor on KB+Mouse though. I'm surprised they released the game like that. I know it's optimised for the xbox controller, but that's no excuse.
 
Alpha Protocols not something i'd pay more than a fiver for but I paid a fiver so. The controls with a pad are also a little too sloppy for my liking at least in the shooting, also no cross hair unless you're aiming which is annoying probably just me not being able to find it.

My Top 5 Spacemarine, Retribution, Witcher 2, Deus ex 3, Dead rising 2

vvvvvvvvvvvvvv is annoying when it ignores your key presses. Iron Grips quite amusing abit like team fortress two.

Wasn't planning on picking up anything until I got through all of the stuff I bought in last years christmas sale but Batman for a fiver convinced me otherwise.

Really must play all these untouched games rather than spending all free time on SC2.
