Hmmmmm big battles on the 360

if you want to play a large medieval combat game on current generation hardware, check out the kingdom under fire series for xbox. they are developed by the same company that's making the game pictured above (which is called ninety-nine nights, by the way). they basically play like a LOTR version of dynasty warriors with one major addition: you control all the other units like an rts. it's awesome, you send your cavalry charging in, order the archers to fire, cast spells, etc... but then when your officer's unit is engaged, you can control him and slaughter orcs yourself. i highly recommend the 2nd installment, kingdom under fire: heroes.
