You have to watch the trailer!

Looks kind of interesting if you like OK mini game collections.
( Only previews I could find don't make it sound all that good...)
At least it's only going to cost $30 when it comes out... :-\

No Thanks's I'll stick to medieval Total war, Rome Total War, medieval II Total War and Empire Total War. By far the BEST games you can get concerning those periods in time.

OH and MTW II will cost you less than $30

XIII Century Gold (PC game.....and that ain't "Politically Correct"!)


Product Description

The Gold Edition includes XIII: Death or Glory AND XIII Blood of Europe! Two awsome games for a great price! Death or Glory is an RTS game which immerses players in the Middle Ages. This is a world of noble nights and ruthless nomads, a world of courageous deeds and internal wars. As one of the famous military leaders of the 13th Century, gamers are able to test their steel against the neighboring nations and carve their names into history. Among the playable factions are the English, the French, the Mongols, the Germans and the Kievan Rus' (Russians). The game consists of 5 campaigns which cover the most well-known battles of that period. Features include large scale battles, thousands of units, and offers players a chance to test their skills as military leaders in midieval Europe! Blood of Europe is the sequel to Death or Glory. Its 1233 AD and Alexander Nevsky, the famous defender of ancient Rus' western borders, is long gone. Having licked their wounds after the Battle on the Ice, knights of the Teutonic Order are again leading their iron wedges to Pskov, a gem of the Northern Rus'. They are out for easy prey and loot. Dovmont, Prince of Pskov, is destined to become a new hope of these lands. Prepare to join his armed forece to win fame worthy of the memory of the Grand Prince Alexander! Enjoy historical battles of the Middle Ages here and now.

looks fun...

However, I tried the sword fighting in resort at a local Best Buy. I found myself using a "Hanging Guard" (which is my fall-to).

Of course this does me no good, because the programmers probably don't even know what that is... :o :o
