Come on down and join the revolution

Jun 17, 2008

When you bought your PlayStation 3 the chances are it wasn’t because you were dreaming of playing a game in which you built a garden of hanging vines to attract William Shakespeare to your city while Ghandi shook a stick at you in a fit of rage. The chances are even slimmer that you pictured yourself playing said game, bellowing your civilization to victory while trying to shove a sandal up Ghandi’s rear.But that’s ...

Civilization Revolution - second impressions

Look for the pun about how this could revolutionize strategy games on consoles

May 23, 2008

There are several reasons that turn-based strategy games haven't really ever caught on for non-PC gamers, and Civilization Revolution is making sure it addresses as many of them that it can. It's the first console only Civilization, so the controls are a huge focus for the design team. Also, the aversion to taking turns that many Halo, Gears of War and CoD 4 console players have is being considered carefully. Overall, the game has a new ... » Read Full Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution preview

Console strategy games don't have to be lobotomized

Dec 6, 2007

Dec 6, 2007 Yeah, console gamers are total morons… wait, no were not! So why do the best PC games invariably receive a total dumbing-down in their transition to the box sitting by your TV? Battlefield - complicated on the PC; dumb as a bag of dead clowns on 360. Far Cry - smart and stealthy on the PC; run-and-gun-and-eventually-not-much-fun on 360. As much as developer Firaxis would like you to think of their Civilization port as ‘streamlined, the truth is that the game we played ... » Read Full Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution preview

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

Streamlined strategy for the not-quite PC gamer

Jul 18, 2007

The Civilization name carries a lot of weight in the PC gaming community, but not so much when it comes to action-minded console types. To that end, world-famous developer Sid Meier has built a console-specific version that streamlines the whole "epic society building" thing into a few short hours. Longtime fans know how long the typical Civ game takes. Hours upon hours can be spent tailoring your fledgling civilization from Stone Age to Space Age, sometimes even crossing the 24-hour mark. ... » Read Full Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution preview
