Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Sid Meier is one of a handful of game designers known throughout the industry for their creativity, designing talent, and ability to make truly additively fun games. His Civilization series has been a best seller and at the top of "Best Of" lists since the release of the original game in 1991.

Civilization Revolution, the latest entry in the series, was specifically designed for consoles like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Because of this, it features a simpler interface and more playful graphics that will no doubt bring this series to a whole new audience. Thankfully, all the addictive game play is still intact.

Our friends over at Gamervision.com have posted their review, here's a sample:

This was probably the hardest review I’ve had to write in my time at Gamervision. It’s not that I couldn’t think of anything to say, I have plenty for you to read today. The simple fact is Civilization Revolution is one of the most addictive games I’ve ever had the opportunity to play, and I could barely pull myself away from trying to take over the world to eat, let alone write a review. Lucky for all of you I’m on vacation, and I have to share the TV with 10 other people (including several who’ve decided to embark on their own Civ campaigns). Needless to say, I have some time on my hands and I’d like to use that time to share my experiences in world domination.

I think they like it.
