award-winning turn-based strategy franchise, is currently in development for PC. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI will offer players new ways to interact with their world, expand their empire across the map, advance their culture, and compete against history’s greatest leaders to build a civilization to stand the test of time.
“Sid Meier’s Civilization games hold a reputation for defining the 4X gaming genre for the past 25 years,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the silver anniversary of our longest-running franchise than launching the eagerly anticipated Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, which will provide the most detailed, beautiful and complete experience ever featured in a Civilization game.”

The Dark Sands (GMT Games)
p500 $38, MSRP $55 – made the cut
Ted Racier strikes again! He’s taking his East front campaign system from The Dark Valley and dropping it into North Africa. You get to refight the dramatic 2 years of back-and-forth warfare between Cairo and Tunis at the operational level, with a focus on combat and planning. Notably, the GMT copy on their promotional material pokes fun at a certain well-known North Africa game with a heavy logistical focus. Meanwhile, you’ve got a highly solo-friendly game that spans a grand campaign from a designer we all love and a company that churns ass-kicking products. Got get your order in before you can’t get the p500 price anymore.

Last time, I dropped a citadel right in Pulias’s grill. Methinks that miffed he be.
U mad, bro?
Uh, actually, England will be intimidated. And you’ll like it.
Land Ironclads? Let’s upgrade
No more ka-chunkadas. Time to boost the troops for what we all know is coming.
