''The way Firaxis transferred one of the most complicated, overcrowded with tables, comprehensive games as Civilization from pc to console can only be approached with so much praise. Firaxis mainly cut in the micro management of the game so that we can concentrate us on the global planning. The interface of Civilization Revolution has been devised wisely around the limited numbers of buttons of the controller. To preserve the speed and to limit the navigation throughout the map, the interface takes simple tasks such as switching between your units. The essence of Civilization is still the same: construct a civilization and dominate the world.
You start around 3500BC with a primitive civilization from the prehistoric age and you'll finish eventually in the near, technological future. Between this time breach you choose how to reign over your nation. Before you make your trip through history you need to choose one of the sixteen memorable leaders. Chiefs such as Caesar, Cleopatra, Abraham Lincoln and Ghandi are only four of them. Each one has his/her advantages and disadvantages, one will be better in warfare while the other has a large cultural influence.''

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 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.
God Hand
Partly because I just recently discovered it and its insane.
What a gold nugget.
XMNR: 2K Games and Firaxis Games officially unveiled “Civilization: Beyond Earth” at a PAX East, which ended Sunday. The storied franchise heads for the stars for the second time in its twenty-three year history but the history of Sid Meier’s just-one-more-turn creation is as interesting as the games themselves.
March was a good month for bagging yourself a bargain! Hopefully we'll be able to find a few more good deals this month too. Here are a few of the bargains that FantasyMeister managed to bag himself in the month just gone.
