I know a lot of guys are looking forward to this game, just thought I'd share this here: Game Informer's Adam Biessener scores Civilization V at 9.75 out of 10. "Comparing Civilization V to contemporary strategy games is entirely pointless," he begins. "Civ V is a towering, AAA release with millions of dollars worth of polish in an era where questionably localized Russian titles are all that strategy gamers have to tide them over for months at a time. It's also a delightfully fresh take on a formula that has been slowly iterated on for more than two decades."www.gamasutra.com/view/news/30550/Critical_Reception_Sid_Meiers_Civilization_V.php

Well, several of us now have the game. I have only done the tutorial stuff with a light playthrough so I am not ready to share any specifics but my overall impression of the game was that it deserves the rating you have posted. Kell and Edguardo have the game and Watters told me he was getting it.

Can't afford it or I'd buy it. Thats what you get for picking up Dragon Age lol. Seriously though, Civ 5 is an awesome game IMO. It has taken some of the tedious micromanaging away that bored me about the game. Combat has to be approached much differently than previous civ games since there is no more stacking like units. One non combat and one combat unit is all you can stack now. Mods are already hitting the game, and I like how they have incorporated finding the mods from directly in the game instead of having to hunt them down online. I have already played the hell out of this game, which has greatly exasperated the wife. I unfortunately do not have the time to write down all my thoughts here but if you catch me on vent sometime I have no problem giving my full opinion on the game.

Sounds like a good overview. 99.9% of what I've seen online has been reall good!
