At Games Convention 2007, Firaxis ran through the latest built for Civilization Revolution, a console-minded version of Sid Meier's classic PC strategy game. Surprisingly, the reinvention really does work, but we wondered why Firaxis announced the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS versions were coming in Spring 2008, while the Wii version was relegated to the Fall season.
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."
Alpha Protocol has some fantastic ideas in its conversation and story progression due to choices. I really enjoyed my time with it.
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.
what would the PC equivalent of wii specs be?
What? You're waiting for later with the Wii because its going to have to be so different from past Civ games, because the Wii has a pointer style control?
And here I was thinking I was playing Civ 4 with the mouse controlling the pointer...
Seriously, I don't get it. The Wii controls more closely resemble a computer game than any other control system (only the DS would come close). I would think it would be the first one you work on, sense it can be made so much like the Civ games on the computer, with almost exclusivly point and click controls.
They are maybe trying to get it to look like ps3 and xbox360 version... Hehehe....Hehe
