Civilization Revolution

Anybody else thinking about trying this one out? I'm not much for these type of games but this one looks pretty cool.

I love Civ IV, but those games belong on the PC.

I downloaded the demo as well, and I'm currently contemplating on whether I should pick it up or not.

I freakin' LOVE Civ games. Some of the deepest gaming experience you can get.

I can't imagine playing these on a console. Seems strange.

Jah, I was unimpressed with how they handled Command and Conquor on console.

I had civ 2 for the playstation, and rather enjoyed it. Civ 4 was a PC killer when you got to the later stages, the turns took forever.

Unfortunately, it comes out right around the same time as NCAA 09. I'll probably pick it up in the fall, and waste the winter on it. I havent been disappointed by any Civ game yet, so i'm definately picking it up.

The only problem is, I'll probably need to park an air conditioner next to my 360, since the series has a way of stealing my life 5 hours at a time.

ever play Europa Universalis or Hearts of Iron? I've been playing EU for about 7 years, between no 2 and 3, and it has never gotten old.

Hearts of Iron was too much, I thought it was my dream game, as a micromanager, but it was too detailed, and seemed scripted compared to EU.

I just played the Demo. Had a ton of fun doing it. I got pissed every time they made me quit though. Definitely a rental/purchase from me.

No I haven't. My PC is getting old and the last game I bought for it was probably Doom 3.

I've never played these types of games before but I played the demo and enjoyed it. I will probably pick it up when the price drops on it.
