At first we were a little bit skeptical over whether or not the game could translate successfully from its critically acclaimed PC brethren, and after a multiplayer session, we left with high hopes that the game could indeed be the title that finally bridges the RTS gap between PCs and consoles.
For those not up to speed, the Civilization franchise is all about starting from scratch and literally attempting to become the biggest power in the world by not only establishing your own cities as successful places with thriving populations and resources, but also by negotiating with other pre-existing civilizations (which includes the option to wage war on them, taking them over by force). We have now had a chance to sit down for an extended play-session with the single player game, and so far we're glad to report that the addictive nature of the PC titles has come across on the console versions of the game as well, featuring a simplified and faster-paced style of gameplay that still manages to capture the unique style that has made the series so successful."

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."

A spy rpg can be done with amazing results if handled correctly.
God Hand
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.
