Creative Assembly has released a new juggernaut in it's very popular Total War series. In recent years, PC gamers have experienced Total War during Medieval and Roman times, but this time all of the action and strategy takes place during the 18th century, a time of tremendous turmoil for European nations and the Americas.

A battle for dominance between two rival factions on a post apocalyptic Earth is your basic premise for Stormrise, a new RTS developed by Creative Assembly that is out now for Windows Vista, Xbox 360 and PS3. Creative Assembly is well known in PC gaming for their excellent Total War series, but with Stormrise, the team takes an unusual step in the wrong direction. Stormrise has some positives, but severe control issues and other gameplay bugs and frustrations disrupt the experience before it hardly even begins.
