OXM writes: There's a reason why PC strategy games don't work on Xbox 360 and that reason is this - they're PC strategy games. Born in a bland PC tower and shackled to a keyboard and mouse, attempts to drag strategy games out of their grey dungeons and into Microsoft's white console have been met with varying degrees of success. Whether it's been Lord Of The Rings: Battle For Middle Earth II or Command & Conquer 3, most of them have been okay. Decent. Alright. Talking about them will induce a passive shrug of the shoulder before talk switches back to that mouthy American teenager you no-scoped in Halo 3 last night.
Civilization Revolution will break that cycle because it's a PC strategy game that is born on console, raised on console and will live a long and fulfilling live on console. It's essentially a PC strategy game that strikes out the 'PC' and replaces it with 'console'. A console strategy game? No wonder the word 'Revolution' is in the title.

Here's a small list of recommendations of unsung heroes of the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era."

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.
