Gryph Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 In the midst of all these first person shooters (Quake IV, F.E.A.R., Call of Duty 2), Civilization 4 is a welcome treat for me. I'm passing up on all those games for this one because I've always loved the Civ series and I think I will get lots of mileage out of this game. Anyone else planning on getting this? It comes out on Oct. 25 which is next Tuesday. Another turn based strategy game coming out soon is Shattered Union. Gameplay looks interesting and the subject matter intrigues me. It's about the US breaking up into several factions after a nuclear blast destroys Washington D.C. Unfortunately, no review are out yet for this game. Anyone been following this? It's coming out for XBOX too I think.
Inky Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 civ4 would suck up way too much of my life away. I loved civ2 so much. so I dunno if I wanna set myself up for addiction again. it's like a recovering alcholic going into a bar. I haven't heard of the other game but if it hits xbox I may end up "Acquiring" it
Gryph Posted October 20, 2005 Author Posted October 20, 2005 I saw the XBOX version on a certain popular site. But that Civ risk is a legitimate risk I'm willing to take. I actually don't have too much time to waste but still...it's Civ!
Wizard Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 So, hows it handle. Anything like 2? or 3? Or a mixture of both?
OverlordMondo Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I plan to pick it up, great game. I also recently acquired Black and White 2, which is also a great game. I reccomend you try it out.

I would give you a link but I don't have it on me right now. I read it last night as some Civilization fan site. I don't think it's leans towards either of the games in particular, it just uses the best stuff from each of them (atleast I'm hoping.)
