Macworld writes: "Sid Meier creates strategy games that are so expansive, so rich, and so complex that the mini-games, the scenarios, the sideshow distractions in the games are more rewarding then some stand-alone games currently on the market. In Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword, the latest expansion pack for Civilization IV (), there's a World War II scenario that is more entertaining than any turn-based WWII simulator I've played in the past year--and that's not even a small fraction of the game's content.
Meier is never one to shrink from creating scale, depth, or complexity in his games. He also enjoys throwing in the occasional history joke. (If you completely fail at beating a scenario, you'll often be congratulated for having the leadership skills of Dan Quayle)."
2K will implement online service changes for several legacy titles, including releases for Windows PC, as a result of GameSpy Technology terminating its online service offerings for video games.
Beginning May 31, 2014, select legacy titles from the Borderlands® and Civilization® catalogs will temporarily go offline while service is transitioned to Steamworks.

GameFront, "In an age when even old-school FPS gurus like iD’s John Carmack are defecting to consoles, you can still be sure of one thing: strategy gaming has ever been and will always be the province of PC’s. Whether it’s due to the more cerebral, measured gameplay, or — more likely — the crucial importance of mouse controls, the jump to other platforms is rarely successful. Despite their large market share and stable, unchanging hardware, consoles struggle to sustain a pure strategy game."
I pretty much clicked on this to ensure that Homeworld was included and sure enough it is. I approve.
I never played Homeworld but I'm gonna check it out.....maybe Good ol Games has it for dirt cheap!
Damn it I want to play Homeworld. Why hasn't Relic got it up on a digital distribution service like Steam?!
