New Civ IV Expansion Announced, Ninja Gaiden DS

A new expansion pack for Civilization IV has been announced, with an emphasis on the late-game portions of the title. CVG says that new civilizations, technologies, and leaders will be available; added functionality includes the ability to form corporations and spread them throughout the globe, new espionage elements, and the ability to start games further up the tech ladder. "Advanced Starts: A major fan request, this new feature will enable players to 'buy' components of a custom-tailored empire and begin play in the later part of the game, allowing them to experience many of the new features of the expansion pack in a shorter amount of time." Also newly announced: Ninja Gaiden:Dragon Sword for the DS, an overhead 3D action game wholly unlike the side-scrolling original titles. That article, at 1up, also points out that a demo for the PS3 Ninja Gaiden title will be available in April.

    Wow, the mod totally missed the humor in the parent post.... when I replied it was moded -1 offtopic, it should be +5 funny If you didn't get the joke Ninja Gaiden has been known to cause copious amounts of frustrations, enough to throw your controller. Now imagine your controller is a DS.

    I don't think you understand. Drawing obscure symbols to finish off a boss *fundamentally* changes the game, it's like a completely new experience.
