Sometimes the assassin got the job done, and sometimes the assassin met an even grislier fate than his intended victim. In that game, whenever you ordered an assassin to take out an enemy general, you would then get a movie that showed whether the assassin succeeded or not. Medieval 2 will also reintroduce the often-hilarious assassination movies that were featured in Shogun: Total War, the first game in the series.

And with Medieval 2: Total War, the developers at Creative Assembly are remaking the incredibly popular Medieval with new technology. The Total War games are best known for their blend of turn-based strategy, which lets you manage the running of a nation, with gargantuan real-time battles, which can feature thousands of warriors fighting and dying for your cause.

Through the course of three games, the Total War series has managed to establish itself as one of the most popular strategy franchises around.
