I really enjoy Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

I don't have an extreme amount of PS3 games, around 25, but many of them lack replay value. One thing I love about PS3 is the free online store (and free online in general). You can download lots of demos and such for free. I often check out the PS3 game demo section. One game I tried out around 2 months ago was Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution. I remember playing Civ on the PC god knows how long ago. I'm sure some of you do too. Now, I was having a bit of nostalgia and decided to download it. That's where the addiction began.

Although FPS is my favorite genre, RTS ranks up second easily, but I don't find many I like. I really enjoyed Red Alert and Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne (both PC) but never got much in to any others. Anyways, I downloaded it and the demo lets you play a good bit and I ended up playing it all weekend before picking it up at Wal Mart.

The next 3 weeks, almost straight, I played this game non stopped. I eventually broke the civ addiction, or rather I suplimented it for Call of Duty World at War, but none the less, I hadn't played Civilization in a while. My friend Chris comes over the other day and was wanting to check it out since I had ranted about it a few times. He finally got in to the 21st century this tax season and he picked up a PS3 as well. Horray!

Anyways I loaded it up to merely demonstrate somethings show him the game a bit but I got sucked back in. I just finished playing a pretty intense game and I must say I love nuking people. It's such a shame you only get one of them. My friend Adam tells me that the Civ PC version doesn't limit nukes. I've not PC gamed in a while but I might end up trying Civ on the PC.

So anyways, back to the original topic. I'm attempting to motivate everyone reading to go download the demo if you like real time strategy games or are just looking for something fun with lots and lots of replay value, something a lot of my games unfortuantly lack.

My favorite civilization is easily the Chinese. They like kick ass at everything. The hardest to beat for me is probably the Egyptians. They tech so fast and everytime I play against them they spawn so far away I can't really presure them. In the game I finished a few minutes ago I did knock the Chinese out early which was a shock. I was the Arabs, who I've not played much but I totally owned everyone with them.

That's the beauty of the game, ecspecially if you play Random Civilization like I do, you get a new game everytime pretty much. There's only a handful of my games I feel (after playing them) that they were worth every penny and Civilization Revolution is definitly one of them.

I will warn you though, if you do pick it up it's highly addictive.
