Total War: Eras arrives next week

Available in Europe since May, Sega's Total War: Eras will finally arrive in the States next week. For $60, this series-spanning collection includes the Shogun, Medieval, and Rome titles, as well as last month's Alexander digital download. All seven games have averaged a composite metascore of 85, and Eras offers significant savings over the separate collections, so this should be a worthwhile purchase for action-strategy fans.

Medieval 2: Total War doesn't ship until November, but GameSpot has an updated designer diary and a new trailer for the fourth installment of the franchise.

Ha! This seems to be Sega's way of capitalizing on the brand's back catalog from before they got onboard. Why waste time on a new game when you can sell compilations of old ones? Brilliant!

Meh, I'd do the same.

I'm actually looking foward to this because I actually missed out on the Total War series.

It's a good pack, and is obviously designed to create hype for the new game. It's not for the fans though (except the really hardcore who want the "bonus" content) as they'll already have all of these.

Hopefully it'll get more people into what is a truely awesome series, and get them hyped up for the new game which looks incredible.

I hope they'll do Shogun 2 in the new engine next, or I've always thought that Napoleonic Total War would be good.
