Just as the title says, which one should i get first? I am completely aware of that both are different games, AC being more likely an RPG while total war is a mix of TBS and RTS. But the thing is that i don't get much time nowadays to spend on gaming so i want to ask which one i should get first and play. I will eventually get both. and oh i got AC2 on steam and loved itthoroughly, and i also loved Empire Total War, did'nt get the chance to play Napolean Total War's though. But as i have heard, it seems shogun is the best total war game to date so i am more inclined towards it.

Any suggestion? And oh i feel sorry for pre-ordering and wasting my time on DA2, what a let down bioware :(

I'll vote Shogun 2. It's OK if you're short on time beause you can save whenever you want and just pick it up later. The game is great, my favorite rts in years, maybe ever.

was on the same spot.

I picked assassins the multiplayer is great fun and wel the singel player really good :)

waiting for shogun to go down in price wich will probably be sooner then brotherhood ( napoleon and empire went down pretty quick retail )

that said I also didn't like the way they prommised multiplay campaign in empire and that took ages also thought there were to many bugs in the last 2 games.

so definitly not going to buy it at full price although it should be a bit better now I think.

Never been a big Total War fan but Brotherhood is great fun. You can jump in and play small doses too, find some treasure, fight some guards or do some of the other smaller tasks.

I'm really enjoying Brotherhood, the multiplayer is a perfect compliment to the single player

They're both very good games. I own and currently play both of them regularly. I'll have to go with AC:B though I may be a little bias considering I work at Ubi :P

Get both!

I got Brotherhood today and will get Shogun 2 tomorrow (they were out of stock where I went, didn't have time to try other places).

Brotherhood seems great so far, my control based rage has yet to rear its head so i'm just loving the nice peaceful escapism.

I've never played a total war game before and plan on diving in without any idea of what i'm doing. Should be a good time.

If you loved AC2 you'll love Brotherhood, it's a continuation of the story from AC2.
