More On: Dynasty Warriors 6
As the Dynasty Warriors series is wont to do, a straggling port of the tactical-action button-masher is making its way onto the PC.  In addition to Dynasty Warrior 6's November 18th release on PC (download only), the PS2 version will simultaneously find itself on store shelves.  If you're new to Dynasty Warriors and aren't sure if jumping into the series this late might pose a problem -- don't worry.  For the most part, this hack n' slasher hasn't evolved in the slightest since its inception, and has somehow served as comfort food for countless gamers, with over 18 million units sold during its decade-long tenure.  For better or for worse, Dynasty Warriors is a staple of the video gaming landscape.  But you're still allowed to roll your eyes.
