Abstract: Sid Meier’s Civlization series is one of the most memorable PC franchises ever. As such, every new iteration and refinement of the complex strategy series is a huge deal for longtime players and new gamers alike. Civilization V was known to be a fairly...

If you’re still reading, I hope that you haven’t gotten the impression that this game is horrible. It is not. Despite all its flaws, I still cannot tear myself away once I start playing. The bad news is that the game isn’t everything we fans wanted it...

Abstract: Let get this straight immediately - if you have ever had an issue stopping yourself from playing an addicting game (“Just 5 more minutes” of Diablo 2, “Just one more round” of Battlefield), then do not start playing Civilization V. I’m pretty sure qui...
