Picture Perfect Review
As praise for Medieval II continues to pour in, EuroGamer.net has posted a lovely review with 9/10 rating! Clearly impressed, they commented "we can all rest safe in the knowledge that this is the best Total War yet. It's
an absolute joy to take the accomplishments of Rome to the broader world,
politicking and technology of the 11th to 16th centuries. Though familiar, MTWII
is breathtaking in its depth, fiendishly challenging in all the right ways and a
big old phlegmy spit right in the eye of anything else foolish enough to claim
ownership of the strategy crown."
Meanwhile in our News From The Front Line section, the Forum community has developed a flair for taking fantastic screen captures from Medieval II!

Competition Winners Revealed!
The competition asked for creativity and you guys definitely
delivered. During the last two weeks we
have received pledges of love, death threats, heartfelt pleas, some brilliant
poetry, offers of cheese sandwiches, adaptations of Shakespeare and well-known
movies, obscene jokes, medieval prose, and some that were just borderline
crazy!
We really enjoyed reading them all, and the consistently
high quality made it very hard to pick out only 10 winners. However, choose we must, and it therefore
gives us great pleasure to announce the winners of our Medieval II competition:
David Swerdlow, Piotr Borys, Alex Geiger, Craig Jarvis, Matthew Crudele, Sarah
Harvey, Anthony Lewis, Johnny Horn, Olli Kääriäinen, and Boyan
Penev.
One of the winning entries (shown in the photo above) comes
from Richard Jarvis, who impressively shaved off a patch of his hair to dress
as a Medieval monk. Be sure to register for our Newsletter to check out more winning entries!
Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks again to everybody
who entered!

All that remains is to say a big thank you to all of you who supported us by going out and grabbing a copy of the game.
