LAS VEGAS -- Civilization is one of the gods of strategy games, where you oversee the creation of a whole society in competition with other civilizations. It debuted in 1991, and now at 25, it has become one of the cultural touchstones of the game industry, something that everyone recognizes or has played in the past.
Maybe I'm saying this because my PC is shit but I really would like a good console Civilization game on par with the PC ones.

I still remember the day my dad finally convinced me to go and peel the potatoes by turning off the power to the entire house.
I think I lost about 5 hours worth of game play that day.
The end is nigh! After two years on Facebook, the CivWorld is set to face its very own Armageddon in two months time.
