Praised both by critics and gamers, the latest instalment of the Total War series takes strategy enthusiasts back to 16th-century Japan and presents a lavish blend of 3D real-time battles and turn-based management.

Total War: Shogun 2 follows in the footsteps of Just Cause 2. Both CrossFire and SLI scaling is near-perfect, but in this title, while the GTX 580s were good, Sapphire's HD 7950s are better.
