Sid Meier's Civilization: Revolution (360)

The Civilization Game Series is all about taking you nations from tribes in the stoneage to being the overall leader of the world.

"A Civilization for simpletons" - That's how I read the press release for Civilization Revolution. The whole idea of dumbing down the complex nature of running an entire civilization for the benefit of pad wielding console lovers made me overly cautious.

To start off, I don't normally play strategy games (this is the first one if have bought), so it was a matter of chance, that I came across Civ Rev. It was one of those slow days when you are bored of the games you have at the moment and I was looking through all of the demos on XBL Marketplace and downloaded a few; Civ Rev being one of them.

This is certainly case of it being a good idea to release a demo. I would never have bought it otherwise. Anyway, waffling over. I ...  Read the complete review

Sid Meier is not a household name to most, but for exponents of PC gaming the man can be considered a legend. His games include Railroad Tycoon and the Pirates series. He has become so synonymous with a certain level of quality that he has been given the rare privilege of getting his name in the game titles hence games starting Sid Meier's XXX.
