I didn't say that they don't like 4x games, they scored Civ3 a 9.3/10 and Civ4 a 9.4/10. Does that sound like hate?
No, but it does hint that 2K is racing towards the lowest common denominator in the name of the All Holy $

StarCraft owns all strategy games; end of story.

starcraft's actually easier than total war for example.

Once I get some good strategies for surviving...
I'm still on the third mission, but the last time I had it I beat #5 and the fun ended there. Afterwards I might just engage in multiplayer with some friends, or, then again, SC2 is going to be out by Early 2009 by the very latest.
StarCraft and Civ4 are the best strategy games ever made, period. Oh, and maybe you could throw X-COM 1 an Company of Heroes in there, and possibly Rome: Total War.

Swein Forkbeard, you always should say, that this is your opinion. Others have another opinion, especially about Civ 4.
Some posts earlier you did write you can't get into Civ4 without forcing yourself. This doesn´t sound for having a lot of fun with Civ 4. I also had to force myself to play Civ 4 with these in my eyes modderunfriendly 3d graphics and the boring gameplay. Civ 3 would still be complete fun for me, if these anoying bugs Firaxis left to the customers since a lot of years would be fixed.

I think Civ Rev will be a massive commercial success. And hopefully, that might just be enough to encourage one or two other (more reluctant) developers into coding their own tbs games for the consoles, and handhelds.
As for Civ Rev.....having Sid Meier's name above the title is more than sufficient endorsement for me that it's gonna be something special!

Looking on the final semi-patches for Civ 3 and Civ 4, for me this is not any longer the case. Both games also have the name of Sid Meier above the title. The same for Sid Meier´s Railroads flop.
The in my eyes conceptionel best title of the Civ series - Civ 2 - was mainly created by Brian Reynolds and Mick Uhl. No Sid Meier in it.

Well, CivRev will be interesting for sure, I always thought large-scale stratagy games couldn't be put on a console due to the whole mouse issue, but since Command&Conquer 3 and Battle for Middle Earth II it seems to be possible. I personally think that console is a good direction for Civ. For all the people who think it is cartoonish, hear me out. CivRev will be a whole new branch. Think of Civ4 and imagine it as a crossroads between CivIII and Rev. Now the PC branch can pick up where CivIII left off and console can pick up on the simplicity and intuitive nature of 4. (At least, I hope it will come to that, I want my PC stratagies to be uber complicated)

If starcraft owns all, how is Twilight at the top of ur list ?
?*please don't take offense!*

Twilight is an Adventure game.
Metroid kills Civ. So does Mario. So does StarCraft. So does Zelda. And, once I actually get to play it without any dumb interruptions, then so will Elder Scrolls.

I solved it the easy way....just got it for the 360
That was my solution to the problem as well, Thrallia. I got sick and tired of throwing money at PC upgrades, and saw buying a 360 as being an obvious solution to the problem. And yes, it was Oblivion that did it for me as well!
Needless to say my gaming habits have changed dramatically since then. And consequently, the old PC as it currently stands is only marginally ahead of Stephenson's Rocket in terms of technological advancement. But it can still handle Civ III and Bejewelled, so that'll do for me!

Civ3? Buzz off and play, uhm, Half-Life or something instead.

have you tried Puzzle Quest for the 360? It's like an RPG mixed with Bejeweled! Its nuts and very addictive!
Btw, you should post your gamertag in the gamertag thread so that you can find a number of CFC members to play CivRev against
