I've long been a big fan of console gaming, but also of PC titles like the Civilization franchise, with its more strategic, long form approached to gaming. So it was great news to hear about Civilization Revolution being released, and reinvented for the console market.




Wii Fanboy discuss the recent interview with the game's developers:

"During an interview with CVG, Firaxis's Tim McCracken points out that this is a totally new Civilization game, built from the ground up for consoles. It should be noted that there is no shortage of nations on the consoles, either, as Time points out players can play as 16 different nations. From "Alexander the Great, to Bismarck, to Cleopatra - you can play as them and against them." Also, the addition of army creation (where the player takes three of same type of units, places them into the same square, giving that particular army three times the power of the single unit alone). Sounds great to us!"

With online play and great graphics, this looks like an awesome addition to the Wii stable to me
