First Reviews of Civilization V
An anonymous reader submitted linkage to a story explaining why Hemos has been twitching for a week in anticipation: "Defying the urge to phone-in an unambitious sequel and coast on past successes, Sid Meier's Civilization V is anything but a lazy rehash. It feels almost as if someone described the concept of the renowned 19-year-old turn-based strategy series to a talented designer who'd never played it, and let him come up with his own version. It's similar enough to be familiar to veterans, different enough to be fresh, and its polish and accessibility make it a great place for new players to pick up one hell of a Civ addiction."
Not sure I'm keen on them dropping religion from the game, but nearly everything else I've heard about seems like a shift in the right direction.
Now if we could just get civilization to drop it from RL...
*Still* negative function...
However, you don't have the right to bitch that new software doesn't run on your antique paperweight.
Actually, I do have that right. What are you going to do about it? Throw a hissy fit? Call your mama? Call the cops to arrest me for having offended your tender feelings? Wait for mod points and unleash all the power that the intertubes give you - nereriously scavenging for my posts and modding them down - oh the horror, the agonizing pain, being modded down! Actually, that last one you could do. Won't change the fact that I have the right to bitch about the HW specs of Civ V, if I want to.
To be honest, I didn't bitch on Civilization V at all. Just said that for the first time, they overstepped my currently available HW. I admit being surprised at all the hate answers I got, and many of them twisting my words/purposefully misunderstanding them as complaining. Some people seem to be happy only when they can hate on something/someone. Pathetic.

I hate Steam, but I don't hate it enough to skip Civ 5. Woe is me.
Woe is all of us due to you, you piss faced bitch.
I hope you die lingeringly, painfully and all alone. Pieces of shit like you with no integrity and no spine to resist a shiny bauble for any ethical purpose are the entire reason the whole world is going to hell in a handbasket.
Fuck you you spineless consumer.
According to this site: http://robyrt.coolserver.net/omf2097.html
The official page of the makers website is http://www.omf.com/
Which is a spam/hosted search site. Yeah, you're solution is much better.
Keep playing obsolete games from companies that don't exist.
FYI, the games I'd like to play require $5 deck of cards, cash and several friends. You'd probably balk at having to purchase a deck of cards since you can "print your own" ;) (Joke!!!)
