Civilization V finally hit stores today. I had planned on going to the grumble mall during my lnch hour because there are three stores there that should be carrying he special edition I sought. The first guy just straight up told me he didn't order one at all. The first thing the second guy said was "what do you want that for?". He bad no desire to sell me any thing. Target hadn't even gotten heir truck yet! I ended up looking up what was left at best buys on my phone. Closest store that had one left was on rt 1 in orange. Ugh. I went back to work for about an hour until I freaked out and came up with a half ass excuse to go visit a supplier "on the way" to orange. At least I was able to listen to the sound track for the game for about an hour befor I got home.

The game is sweet. I like all the improvements so far, the game is much slower but still awesome. I love the hexes, the graphics are pushing the limits of my rig which is concernig, it's four years old but still rock solid. It is time for an upgrade though, well see.

You son of a bitch. Its on like donkey kong now.

Unfortunetly, my laptop can't handle the late game on standard, so im confined to small maps until i upgrade.

What's the big deal? Isn't it just the same game recycled with better graphics and a few new gimmicks? On that note, I can't wait for Madden 11 to come out!

If it were only that easy. They took a radical departure from the last installment of the series on several fundemental points. Yes, they did pepper in a few gimmicks. Yes, they did recycle some older ideas.

Great game. I can tell I will be giving up a few days of my life to this one.

when you say days, you really mean months correct? one of hte worst parts of WoW was that it riminded you of howmany days and hours you'd played total on a character. i'm not going to state what my overall play time was with that, its embarrassing.
