    Soren Johnson joins Zynga to work on a secret project

    Has anyone looked closely at Soren's photograph? Look at the games right behind him - "Conspiracy" and "The Farming Game". The answer is obvious! It's a Farmville Conspiracy! He's trying to warn us! Run! Farmilization is coming!! lol

    Expansion pack announced - Civilization V: Gods & Kings

    This is a step in the right direction - kudos Firaxis. But I'm still waiting for the day everything is bundled into a complete pack and sold for 39.99. I will be interested if the new lead can salvage the game. Obviously there's only so much that can be done with the ill-conceived combat...

    Civ V GOTY announced

    Civ V GOTY? *yaaawn*.. Excuse me.. I have to finish up game #1387131 of Civ IV BTS via direct IP with my weekly gaming group. I've got to get those spies out there into Byzantine cities before invading with my stacks of samurai so I can convert them all (by the sword) to Confucianism. If...

    Revolution for Android?

    I would pay for a Civ app for my tablet - Acer Iconia A500. The trouble, I think is that android is kinda stuck between 2 different forms - the smartphone and the tablet. When OS 4.0 comes out and supposedly everything gets unified then I can see this happening. Because then Civ would be coding...

    Hotseat coming to Civ5 in next patch

    If you're going to take an intolerant tone with your fellow forum-goers, you should put the word politely in quotes, thus: "politely". Because, frankly, your tone was anything but polite. Others have answered your question already and I would just add my +1 to their comments. I found the...

    hey Sid... How does it feel having your name associated with this petty larceny? Seriously. Cause I'd be embarrassed as all heck. John

    What do Civ5 opposers still like in Civ5?

    When placed between the base of a cup of coffee and my workstation table top, the included DVD eliminates nearly all danger of those unsightly rings on my table! Thank you Sid!

    Stuff.co.nz Offers Its Own Civ5 Preview

    I had really begun to believe that Civ V had already screwed up the series as much as possible... that there wasn't anything left to disappoint me (ranged units, no religion, no stacking, no espionage, et cetera...) but not renaming cities? *shakes head*. This just affirms it. Civ V has killed...

    Civ5 - Gamereactor preview

    hahaha it occurs to me - that's not a letter of the alphabet after "Civ".. it's a directional arrow showing the direction the franchise is heading. Ground floor = unemployment and loss of brand recognition - all out!

    New Civ5 Preview on IGN (3/8/2010)

    Yes, I am aware of that. The trouble is that they are getting farther away from realism. Consider. An archer can move two squares and an archer can shoot two squares. Thus it can shoot as far as it can move in 20 years? (I always played marathon where the longest turn was 20 years). And it...
