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."

    You'll probably have to research Monarchy, and also have a source of grapes.

    I don't think I'm going to get Civilization V. The last time I played Civilization, I sat down at 9 AM and got up again at about 6 AM of the next day, having completely forgotten to eat or sleep.

    Oh, who am I kidding? I'll be the first one at the counter.
