CheatCC says, "If you have a job, a spouse, a school to attend, chores to do, or really any responsibilities whatsoever, take note: Civilization V comes out Tuesday, and it’s hard to play this game for less than five hours in a sitting. You’re always on the cusp of a major technological breakthrough, in the midst of an epic battle, or consumed by the day-to-day task of managing an empire. The real world needs to step aside for a bit, because Civilization is back, and it’s as addictive as ever."
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.

Philip Boyes:
When I was a kid, I played a lot of Civilization 2. I played a lot of strategy games in general, but having a deep love of both history and sci-fi, the epic sweep of Civ 2 from prehistory to the stars held a particular appeal. I loved taking my little people from their huts and ziggurats to the world of science and advanced space-flight.
