While action-hungry gamers will be all over the two biggest titles in recent months, GTA IV and MGS4, surely even they will be a little bit curious about how a classic strategy series will fare in its tentative first step on to the PS3, a console not known for going head to head with the bastion format of anally retentive gaming, the PC. PLAY have kept an eye on the progress of Civilization's translation over the last few months and on a professional level alone, they became increasingly curious. Bringing the Civilization series to the PS3 has something in common with the spate of big-budget, comic-book-hero movie adaptations they have seen in the last decade: Firaxis already has a cracking game and Sony's got a great platform for it, so it's all down to the directorial cut, and PLAY are glad to say Civilization Revolution smacks of an X-Men hit rather than Daredevil flop.
