IGN Entertainment's Direct2Drive digital retail store announced today that they have inked a deal with Sega to digitally distribute the award-winning Total War series of games, including The Creative AssemblyÂ’s long awaited sequel, Medieval II: Total War.

With this new distribution deal, Sega is joining the long list of leading game publishers that are currently using Direct2Drive to bring their games to consumers. This steadily growing list underscores the increasing investment the videogame industry is making in digital distribution.

Direct2Drive has been allowing gamers to conveniently purchase and download top-selling games since 2004. It builds on the tried and tested operational infrastructure of FilePlanet, IGN Entertainment's download site. Direct2Drive also makes use of IGN's HitPoints program, which provides full digital game downloads for IGN and GameSpy subscribers.
