Todd Hargosh Writes:
"When I first played Sid Meier's Civilization back in 1991, I had no idea that it would be a huge part of my life. Not only was it the first PC title I played, it was also a game that was so addictive, so enjoyable, that it was able to keep me playing until four in the morning, and even then I still had that feeling of "just one more turn."
Since then I have played all four PC versions, as well as its sci-fi sequel Alpha Centauri (another series that desperately needs a remake) but since leaving the PC gaming scene due to the insane price of upgrading ($500 for a graphics card to play Crysis) I wondered if Civ would ever make an impressive console title (and no the Super NES version didn't count.) But on the other hand, my concern that a console version of Civ would end up being dumbed down in order to satisfy the short attention span console gamer was a constant worry. Thankfully with Civ Revolution that is not the case, as even though games are much shorter than its PC brethren, they still play great and are just as addictive."
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 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.

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.
