IGN writes: "When news first arrived that Sid Meier was bringing his legendary Civilization series to consoles, reactions were mixed. While the return of such a stand-out franchise was greeted with adulation, doubts remained as to whether such a hardcore turn-based strategy game could successfully make the leap from desktop to front room. Thankfully, our hands-on experience with Civilization Revolution's single-player campaign left us suitably impressed - but, with 2K now ready to unveil the game's multiplayer elements, how did this other, equally important, aspect fare?
Designed with an emphasis on quick-fire gameplay rather than the stodgy, intricately strategic approach adopted by its PC predecessors, Revolution's online battles prove to be the very definition of 'streamlined'. From the simple set-up options to the intelligent button configuration, this is easily the most instantly accessible Civ multiplayer experience to date."
Dorkly: "History is written by the winners, and that applies to games, too. While we hold up our post-apocalyptic wasteland adventures, period piece assassinations and Liberty City crime sprees on a pedestal, we would do well to remember the little guys. These underseen, criminally underplayed games didn't do well critically or commercially, but they were still wonderful experiences. Here's a small list of recommendations of unsung heroes of the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era."

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.
