It was Civ 2 that really got me hooked on the series, that’s why it appears in my Top Ten PC Games of All Time. Victory can be achieved in a variety of ways and the depth of strategy on offer in this turn-based game is simply astounding. For anyone unfamiliar the basic premise involves taking a civilization from its foundation all the way through to world domination.
Sid Meier’s Civilization series has always been ridiculously addictive and Civ 5 is no exception. Kiss your wife and kids goodbye, call work and explain you have a debilitating illness, stock up with supplies within easy reach of your PC, turn off your mobile and lock the door – it’s time for Civilization V. That’s right my friends the latest release in perhaps the most far reaching and ambitious turn-based strategy game series ever created is here. To guide a fledging nation from humble obscurity to wondrous glory, from superstitious darkness to the shining light of technological advancement, from clubs and spears to bombs capable of destroying the planet, from huts to cities and beyond into the stars.
