I talk up the Total War series all the time around these here parts, probably a top 5 franchise across all platforms for me. Just doesn't get much better than Total War. Out of the box AI issues keep these games from being perfect in my book.
Creative Assembly went a little too simple with the Shogun 2 game, it was the polar opposite of Medieval 2, which went freaking nuts with empire management.
Rome 2 strikes an amazing balance in that regard, IMO. Stylistically, it's also almost as amazing as Shogun 2, which had the best art direction of all TW games, IMO.
Anyway, if you're a TW fan, you owe it to yourself to play Rome 2.

Waiting for Feral to port RTW2 to the Mac.
In the meantime, I've been modding the hell of RTW. Fun.
