Gamezone: Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution PS3/360 Review

Gamezone writes: "Sid Meier's Civilization is considered to be one of the finest civilization sims in the history of video games. Perhaps the big question would be if the vaunted PC title could translate to the next-gen console and still remain as inviting and entertaining.

The answer comes in the form of Civilization Revolution, a title with intuitive controls that puts the emphasis on the gameplay and delivers a wholly satisfying experience … well, with a few minor exceptions.

Let's get the flaws out of the way first. Because the game has five difficulty levels, you can play on the easiest level which gives you sort of a guide. You may choose that and then almost immediately regret the decision. Why?

5 Criminally Underplayed Games That Need More Love

Dorkly: "History is written by the winners, and that applies to games, too. While we hold up our post-apocalyptic wasteland adventures, period piece assassinations and Liberty City crime sprees on a pedestal, we would do well to remember the little guys. These underseen, criminally underplayed games didn't do well critically or commercially, but they were still wonderful experiences. Here's a small list of recommendations of unsung heroes of the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era."

Alpha Protocol had so much potential. I'd really like to see another spy rpg.

Alpha Protocol has some fantastic ideas in its conversation and story progression due to choices. I really enjoyed my time with it.

A spy rpg can be done with amazing results if handled correctly.

InMyOpinion3410d ago

I would add 007: Bloodstone to the list. That game was criminally underrated.

WizzroSupreme3410d ago

Okami, Beyond Good and Evil, Chibi-Robo!, and Pikmin should be among these.

God Hand

Partly because I just recently discovered it and its insane.

What a gold nugget.
