Galactic Civilizations?

If they do not even list SE4, no point in going to that web site...

The Sims is a strategy game?!?

<- max smileys necessary to express level of shock at such a claim by that web site...

I bought it. Played it for a week then really lost interest in it. And I was winning too. It is a very good game but I cannot explain why the sudden lost of interest. I also cannot explain the sudden interest in me going back to games like Warlords III and Civ III suddenly. I even have an excellent se4 game on hold. The good reviews outweigh the bad ones (are there bad reviews?). I would buy GalCiv but don't pay $49.99 for it!

Reviews are fairly meaningless. Civ 3 got nearly all great reviews, and look how much it sucks compared to Civ 2...

Like wise, I just got realy bored with the game within days of buying it. Its a great game, but just for some reason did not keep my interest. I guess its because it was lacking the essense of a true space exploration, extermination, expantion, and explotation that SE 4 has.

I hear Atari is releasing a new Civilization game. Also, has any one played the new Deus Ex game?

A new Civilization game? What will this be? Civ 4: Corporate Garbage Take 2?

Sure you aren't mistaking a new Civ game for the newest Civ3 expansion? Civ3: Conquests. You know the one that makes Civ3 do everything it should have done with the first release? The one that makes Civ3: PTW actually work in an MP environment, and includes it so if you bought that one you just wasted a nice wad of cash and they want you to do it again so you can get the game that you thought you were getting when you bought Civ3 when it first came out.

I love the most recent trend that seems to be coming out where you call really big patches expansion packs and sell them.

Next:
MOO3: Return of the Orions *sarcasm - not real*
Since Atari won't fund us for another patch we will release it in the guise of an expansion pack!

Atari... where do I know that name... MOO3... and... Civ3!
Do I see a pattern.
