I think it's the DS version, right? I tryed it, but it had a bug that made it unplayable for me.

Medieval 2: Total War isn't even out yet? How is that nominated?

I gotta say, my vote would go to Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings. I just love that game.

You can't really compare CivIV (or any Civ) with AOE. They're completely different types of games, even though they're both strategy, and shouldn't be competing because it winds up being a question of which type of gameplay do you prefer rather than which game is the best strategy game.

Right, most likely the DS version.

CivIV should easily win that. IMO its only real rival is Medieval II, which could hype itself a win.
