An attempt to blend strategy and action, Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires tries to inject new life into this aging series. This time around, it seems someone may have forgotten that you're supposed to at least try to innovate in sequels.

The war of the Three Kingdoms goes in a new direction – and era. Dynasty Warriors gameplay has merged with the stellar setting and story of the Gundam series in this latest addition by Namco Bandai and Koei.
