Sengoku
Have you ever wanted to play as an honorable nobleman in 15th century Japan? If so then Paradox Interactive's new strategy game Sengoku might be for you. Below you can see some of the screenshots of the game as well as the teaser trailer. While the trailer doesn't show much other than a nice map of Japan (I know, it's a "teaser" trailer) the screenshots don't look half bad. Of course I'm terrible at strategy games so I'm not sure if I'll be picking this one up, but the game itself doesn't look that bad at a first glance. Anyway, after checking out the screens and video read on to check out the official press release.
