Should I get Company of Heroes, Medieval something or Total War something? I have a bit of money to spare and am currently undecided as to what I should get.

Buy Empire: Total War in 12 days and get Company of Heroes if you can afford it.

If you ask me, Company of Heroes is a game I have spent countless hours playing, I love that game. I played Empire Total War once or twice, but it didn't grasp me.

Company of Heroes is my vote.

This sounds like a good plan.

Or get Rome: total war while you wait for Empire. If you feel like splashing out that is.

It just depends what you want. If you want just an RTS, Company of Heroes is an excellent game. If you want something over a bit slower, over a longer period and with more depth, wait and get Empire: Total War.

COH would be ur best choice. empire: total war is more slow and is bout conquering empires with diplomas and intelligence than tanks and bombs like in coh.

If you pre-order Empire, you get Rome for free on steam...

Wow, Didn't know that. I don't buy things from steam, because I generally use it to play Half-life 2 which is on my friends account. So I never look at buying games from steam.

May change that now however.

Or buy the Mega Total War pack from steam and get Rome with expansions, Medieval 2 with expansion and Empire!

If you feel inclined to get CoH, try the demo first. I did, and did not spot any glaring problems with it but was still put off. The game was more clicking and "gaming", less tactics and realism than I expected.

You should get a kitten.

No but, the games are really different, Total war is EPIC where as CoH is more of a down and dirty "tactical" game.

But try the demo of CoH first, and then look up some gameplay videos of the total war series to see what you think.

Seconded. Empire looks brilliant, and got 94% in PCG UK, and CoH is just fantastic, with a decent modding community.
