You know, RTSs used to be 2D too. I doubt anyone said CivI was like Dune or some other nonsense.

Well gee, this is so strange but I do believe that FEAR has much better graphics than, even, RTW. That is so weird like how they have graphics that are totally different. I wonder why... duh. I also like how yallaballa never really says what's wrong with CIV. Oh well. *addendum: Oh...

Just be glad they didn't make it Harvard for God's sake considering that people are complaining about Rock and Roll* *(which btw it would have been better to roll Rock and Roll, Blues, Jazz, Pop, Big Band all into one broadcast music category or something but whatever, Rock and Roll was what...
