Gamer Limit Review: Civilization Revolution

Gamer Limit Writes: "The methodology is simple, take one game founded on the PC and start hacking bits off until it fits on a console. This is akin to a crazed child attempting to fit a round peg into a square hole. This is not the first time such a premise has been tried, and judging from previous efforts the attempt to reinvent a game for the console is not one that is easy to pull off. So how does Sid Meier's Civilization: Revolution fare when the war drums beat and the game marches off the desk and onto the television?"

Hm.....I dont know about this one.

I don't think RTSs can ever be done on consoles.

AcesAndEights5503d ago

Technically, not an RTS, it's all turn-based. But I found it worked pretty well on the consoles.

This was a dumbed down version of Civ but it was still fun. The fact you couldn't customize your map really got to me.

5 Criminally Underplayed Games That Need More Love

Dorkly: "History is written by the winners, and that applies to games, too. While we hold up our post-apocalyptic wasteland adventures, period piece assassinations and Liberty City crime sprees on a pedestal, we would do well to remember the little guys. These underseen, criminally underplayed games didn't do well critically or commercially, but they were still wonderful experiences. Here's a small list of recommendations of unsung heroes of the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era."

Alpha Protocol had so much potential. I'd really like to see another spy rpg.

Tex1173374d ago

Alpha Protocol has some fantastic ideas in its conversation and story progression due to choices. I really enjoyed my time with it.

A spy rpg can be done with amazing results if handled correctly.

InMyOpinion3374d ago

I would add 007: Bloodstone to the list. That game was criminally underrated.

WizzroSupreme3374d ago

Okami, Beyond Good and Evil, Chibi-Robo!, and Pikmin should be among these.

God Hand

Partly because I just recently discovered it and its insane.

What a gold nugget.

'Civilization': A brief history of just one more turn

XMNR: 2K Games and Firaxis Games officially unveiled “Civilization: Beyond Earth” at a PAX East, which ended Sunday. The storied franchise heads for the stars for the second time in its twenty-three year history but the history of Sid Meier’s just-one-more-turn creation is as interesting as the games themselves.
