After playing Civilization: Revolution, i have to say that Sid Meier is one of the most intelligent game creators out there. Dare I say that his likeness belongs up there with guys like Will Wright. What makes me say this is that Meier, along with Firaxis, was able to come ...

Civilization Revolution, or CivRev, is an attempt to move the turn based Civilization game series to consoles. And it does it surprisingly well. As a long-time fan of the series, I can attest to the many hours I have already spent immersed in this game and attempting to play it ...

Reviewing Civilization is different from reviewing other games. It's not the graphics or the sound effects, things people are focussing on nowadays. It's not the fact that it is turn-based. It was done before. No. It's the concept that is so appealing. Or better, it's the feeling you get from ...

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 ...
