Total War: Eras arrives next week

Total War ErasAvailable 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.

Total War, totally!

Total War Eras
Pro-G is reporting that Sega will soon be releasing Total War Eras, a comprehensive collection of the Total War strategy games. Featured in the collection will be the Shogun, Medieval, and Rome titles, plus their expansion packs. Bonus content will include a documentary DVD, soundtracks, and original artwork. Electronic Arts and Activision had published earlier entries in the series, but Sega acquired developer Creative Assembly last year and took over publishing rights. A European release date of May 12 is mentioned, although there's no word yet on a North American date.
