Activision
recently launched a site to highlight their upcoming real

Rome:
Total War™ is the multi award winning,
massively anticipated, next generation of the Total War™

genre in 2004. Four years in the making, Rome: Total War
features revolutionary technology that brings epic, cinematic
battles to the PC with graphics and gameplay beyond anything
which has ever been seen. Players will be carried into the
midst of ancient history’s most intense conflicts
as they lead mighty armies of more than 5,000 fully 3D,
motion captured warriors on stunning 3D battlefields stretching
to the horizon. They can play as legendary generals including
Julius Caesar and Hannibal, or they can pit their wits against
them as they use the art of Total War to conquer their enemies.
