GameTap writes: "Most people associate the word "moo" with the oral utterances of a cow, but a small sect of people, mostly bearded ones who play turn-based games, also think of the phrase "Master of Orion." That was a franchise of turn-based strategy games in which you guided an alien race from one planet to exploring, colonizing, or conquering the galaxy; it's sort of like Civilization, but among planets and stars rather than countries and landmasses. While the MOO franchise has long lain dormant, developer Stardock has somewhat taken the reins with its Galactic Civilizations franchise. The upcoming Twilight of the Arnor is planned to be the second and final expansion to Galactic Civilizations II At the moment, the team is treating this expansion as somewhat of a pseudo-sequel to tide players over until either GalCiv III or Stardock's yet-to-be-named fantasy-based strategy game."
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.
