The most recent release has been that of Civilization Revolution, which brought the unique mechanics of 4X turn-based world domination to handhelds to some success. Civilization IV, helped by its two expansions, Warlords and Beyond the Sw... |

The trade wagon slowly moves across the plain, bringing the gift of drunkenness to the unsuspecting Indian inhabitants of Machu Pichu. At the same time, a caravel is loading up its cargo with coats and furs ready to sail to Europe to sell them for a good price, even if the taxes set by our Dutch overlords are w... |

I, for one, was surprised and excited when Firaxis announced it was remaking the classic Colonization game, which Sid Meier put out in 1994, using the Civilization IV game engine. The original game was the less known cousin of Civilization and focused on a smaller piece of history which was presented in greater detai... |

There are some games that manage to capture one's fantasies, even if the graphics are outdated and even if you know the gameplay mechanics well enough to win with your eyes closed. One such game was, for me, Colonization, released in 1994 by Sid Meier, that allowed the player to play one of the four powers tryin... |

With all the bad news surrounding the PS3 today, it's practically impossible to convince anyone that Sony's system is worth buying, less likely even, that it's the "perfect" deal. Has anyone even used the words "perfect" and "PlayStation3" in the same sentence since its launch? Still, as little chance ... |
