A Console Strategy Game That Works! (X360)

Staring at the clock, you consider starting another match. “Hey, I’ll just set things up for when I play tomorrow!” you say. Three hours later, you’ve finished another Civilization Revolution match, and you’re left wondering where the time went. Sounds like a Civilization game, doesn’t it? If you’re a veteran ...

Sid Meier has done it again!! (PS3)

One of the reasons that PC gaming remains as strong as it does is because it is almost impossible to port certain games to consoles. You can quite easily push over a first-person shooter, but real-time strategy and MMORPGs are awkward at best. The most difficult, however, are turn-based strategy ...

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution Review (X360)

The basic premise of Civilization Revolution, much like its predecessors, is to pick one of sixteen great civilizations of history and lead them, starting from humble beginnings in the year 4000 BC.  After that point, everything else is up to you.  The game is played much like a board game, ...

I've been a Civilization fan since the first one.   I always loved how I felt like I was Ceasar or Neopolian.  Each civilazation was unique and were interesting to play.   This version is no different.  The controls are great for being a console RTS.  The way to victory has 4 ...

First Civilization Game... I know, I know... (PS3)

With this being my 'it's about time' introduction to the Civilization franchise, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Gameplay seems to be fairly straightforward, while still maintaining some amount of challenge. The control scheme on the console works, but doesn't really pass with flying colors. Multiplayer is a ...

Great distillation of Civ 4 gameplay but... (PS3)

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. However I think they may have gone too far, especially with the lack of world customisation. After playing quite a few ...
