2K Games has announced the return of Sid Meier's Colonization in the form of Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization. It is a stand-alone expansion for Civilization IV based on the Colonization gameplay. In the game, four nations try to conquer the New World. You'll need to fight and use diplomacy the be the victor. The game will be released exclusively on the PC in fall 2008.
2K will implement online service changes for several legacy titles, including releases for Windows PC, as a result of GameSpy Technology terminating its online service offerings for video games.
Beginning May 31, 2014, select legacy titles from the Borderlands® and Civilization® catalogs will temporarily go offline while service is transitioned to Steamworks.

GameFront, "In an age when even old-school FPS gurus like iD’s John Carmack are defecting to consoles, you can still be sure of one thing: strategy gaming has ever been and will always be the province of PC’s. Whether it’s due to the more cerebral, measured gameplay, or — more likely — the crucial importance of mouse controls, the jump to other platforms is rarely successful. Despite their large market share and stable, unchanging hardware, consoles struggle to sustain a pure strategy game."
I pretty much clicked on this to ensure that Homeworld was included and sure enough it is. I approve.
I never played Homeworld but I'm gonna check it out.....maybe Good ol Games has it for dirt cheap!
Damn it I want to play Homeworld. Why hasn't Relic got it up on a digital distribution service like Steam?!
