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.

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.
