Shogun 2. Good competetive multiplayer, co-op campaign, great real time battles and strategy. Civ 5 isn't bad, but it doesn't have much over Civ 4 besides combat.
Civ V is evil...i have spent many a night sittin in bed with my laptop sayin to myself "just 10 more turns"..."just let me finish this research"..."lemme finish up with conquering this sorry nation"...until about 6 or 7 in the morning and realizing i played the entire standard 500 turn match...its a really good game and they made so many improvements over the previous game...i fell in love with it...its addicting...and its really easy to learn how to play on...and it can be quite a challenge at times...not sure about shogun...but ive never been too keen on the total war frachise...but i did like the demo for shogun 2...but i cant really say much about the game as i dont own it...
Shogun 2 is the more complete game, as a civ 5, addict even I have to admit this.Just got a new PC and I really want to get a strategy game and both appeal to me very much. I won't go wrong with either one but I just wanna see what the community thinks

Civ 5 is still working on its major bugs. They are more likely if your PC uses high end hardware. I will w8 for more Civ 5 patches to roll in. I don't own Shogun 2 but I sounds limited in scope. Just Japanese? Awah :(
Total War games aren't exactly known for the amount of strategy they require as much as tactics which is why I love them. Getting Shogun 2 very soon hopefully.Shogun 2 is the better game imo, best strategy game in years.

I've played both and i can say....
GET SHOGUN 2!!!!!
Its just unreal the amount of stuff that has gone into that game, the AI is so freaken good, prob the best AI in any strategy game, you will need to use a huge amount of Strategy on the campaign map and a crap load of tactics on the battle map,
The AI is now so good you can have them outnumbered 3:1 and they will be able to beat you or take out most of your army if you dont think about how your going to attack them.
I have not been Impressed by a strategy game since Rome:Total War came out this game is fantastic seriously man GET IT!!
Based on the 10 minuets I played each demo, Shogun.. I hate turn based nonsense, felt so clunky with having to wait for a turn contently. InconsistancyLOL... shogun 2 has "turned based nonsense"... LOL... Shogun 2 is just a total package of strategy, turn base, RTS elements all in one.
Europa Universalis 3 with all expansions! Or Victoria 2.
This man knows whats up. Thnak you. I love Paradox, even more so when they took my idea to make Sardinia-Piedmont formable and put it in the 5.1 beta patch for EU3.Europa Universalis 3 with all expansions! Or Victoria 2.

Oh man, Vicky 2 is awesome. I just wish the timeline was about 100 years earlier as I would love to play some of the Indian nations before they got absorbed.
