Galactic Civilizations II's first expansion, Dark Avatar, effortlessly earned itself an "essential" badge. These days, it's difficult to imagine Stardock's 4X strategy game without Avatar's tweaks -- asteroids to mine, spies to plant, and uninhabitable planets to make habitable. If that was the developer's bid to make the game they really meant to deliver in the first place, then the beta of the second (and final) expansion, Twilight of the Arnor, feels like their bid to make the game immortal.
Stardock has announced a new bundle, Galactic Civilizations II Ultimate Edition, which will be released on Steam and GameStop's freshly acquired Impulse, and includes the original game as well as the Dark Avatar and Twilight of the Arnor expansions.
Stardock has released Impulse's top ten sellers list for the week ending on January 16.
