Shogun: Total War
Set in Japan during the Sengoku jidai—the "Warring States" period from the mid-15th century to the beginning of the 17th century—the game has players adopt the role of a contemporary Japanese clan, attempt to conquer the nation and claim the position of shogun. The turn-based aspect of the game focuses on a map of Japan where military force, religion, diplomacy, espionage and economics all influence the player's actions, whilst battles are fought in a real-time mode. Sun Tzu's The Art of War is central to the game; its precepts are quoted often and its strategies recommended.





Okay, so this doesn't have much to do with "widescreen gaming."

But, where else do I have to post this on the Internets?
