Action Trip: It's been said many times before that video games are like a sandbox. Stick a kid in a sandbox with a bucket, a plastic shovel and he'll have hours of fun creating his own little world. Unless, of course, that kid is Vader. Then he'd split his time between pouring sand down his pants and searching the box's depths for Tootsie Rolls the neighbor cat took the time to hide for him (Glorious times. - Vader).
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.
probably most overrated game in 2010. It is good, but just too much like IV to be given this high ratings
