Well the problem with the older point and clicks is they often look immensely dated by todays standards. However I did play through The Longest Journey a year or so ago and loved it. It's very highly rated, but as I say if you can't take the old school graphics/interface then it's a bust from the get go.

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

No story, just pick a layout for the earth and conquer the world.

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.

Flyingbanana · 05-09-2010, 12:47 PM

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..

**dkgojackets** · 05-09-2010, 03:26 PM

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.

Lord Gimik · 05-13-2010, 01:52 AM
