Civilization Revolution (Review)

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 (Preview)

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 ...

Take-Two: New Civilization Will 'Never' Come To PC (News)

Mar 14, 2008

"This is not a PC game," said producer Jason Bergman to MTV Multiplayer. "It's been designed as a console game. It's very, very different from 'Civ[ilization] 4' and we don't want it to be looked at as 'Civ[ilization] 5.' We don't want people to think that this is meant to replace the existing 'Civ' games. This is a totally different game, created exclusively for consoles. It is never coming to PC."

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 ...
