Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

chunkymonkey's Civilization Revolution (PlayStation 3) review

I think Civ:Revolution is a great take on the classic Civ gameplay model, with things nicely simplified down to make it easy and fun to play on a console.

Overall though it's a great introduction to the Civ franchise and with a clever patch here and there could be a top class game.

Kinda. If you've never played Civ, basically you control a civilization like the French, Americans, Russians, Germans, etc. Trying to conquer the world through military might, culturally, scientifically, or economically. Along the way you'll meet many other civiilzations trying to do the same as you...
