If its anything to go by I've played 578 hours.

I've played WoW, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Oblivion, Eve Online, Dragon Age, etc but this has the most replayability and longest life of a gave I've ever seen. Even a ton of teamliquid starcraft people play it. I strongly advise giving it a go.

Any extra thoughts on Altitude? I gave the demo a try and indeed it is pretty entertaining, especially with the variety of game formats. However when playing online I got severely whooped... is it a result of having played less and unlocked far less achievements/better planes?

If you're still having trouble there are guides available. The choice of perks does make some difference but I'd say they are pretty well balanced.

I never got into this, played for like 5 to 6 hours and was always super weak and broke.

This is the complete edition, which includes all three expansions. This is quite a deal.

Particularly tilting since I bought Civ IV: Colonization for $40 in March (stupid retail store), and then Civ IV:Complete for $50 on steam, which included Civ IV:Colonization.

I think you just need bts, but you may need the original one as well. You won't need the other 2.

Civilization is one of those games where you either love it or hate it.

I am in the former category, and have spent countless hours with the series over the past 20 years or however long it's been out.

I got Civ 4 but its kinda meh. I think I may have used up most of my enthusiasm in the old days of Civ 2, probs spent well over 100 hours on that game..

i had played civ revolution for 360 and had a lot of fun, just going to take some time to get used to the pc version since i dont do much pc gaming anymore outside of sports sims. for 10 bucks its worth a chance.

OK so I struggle to imagine who uses Steam regularly who does not already own Portal but if you don't have it already it's FREE until May 24th. GET IT.
