    shocked and amazed

    So here i am at my playstation store looking for a good demo, So i see battle field bad company and i see civilization revolution. I've heard a lil bit about this game but not to much. i read and played a little civilization before so i knew what to expect so i said to myself battlefield for sure, that's the game that i want. Well when i went to download the Battlefield demo it just kept giving me an error message. so i said fuck it i'll download the Civ Rev demo first. The demo gets done downloading and sure enough now Battlefield starts downloading. So i said you know what, I'll just play this civ demo till battlefield gets done downloading. about 8 hours later and about 2 games in i feel ashamed cause i knew which game i was now going to buy and that game was Civilization Revolution. All my friends made fun of me when they heard i was gonna buy that instead of Battlefield...until they played it. Then their tunes changed. So bravo Mr. Sid you turned us into believers. and now we ALL have the game

    *Graphics - 8.5 - some of the details are very well done *Cough breast cough* but there could be more done to make this game shine.

    *playability - 9.0 - easy to pick up and learn. Give it a shot and fall in love.

    *Sound - 8.0 - i love how you can hear your cities really coming to life but - 1 point for your advisor's.

    *feel - 9.5 - this is one of those games that does what it sets out to do, make you feel like a leader.

    * lasting appeal - 10 - with 16 civilizations, 5 difficulties, numerous wonders, buildings, technologies, etc... plus multiplayer and DLC on the way. this can go on for a VERY long time.

The most difficult, however, are turn-based strategy titles that require obscene amounts of micromanagement, where a keyboard and a mouse are almost required to play the game correctly. Of these games, one of the most popular is Civilization, which is a co...

      Civilization is an amazing series of strategy video games for the PC, now with Sid Meier himself returning to design the game, the game series goes to consoles. Is it worth conquering the world over? 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...
