Sid Meier's Civilization V (PC)

An excellent update to a classic. There are some changes - but the game play is still excellent.

I know the general consensus from old-school Civilization players is that this is a bit of a step backwards from Civ IV, but I couldn't disagree more. The interface is worlds more intuitive and I was happy to see they removed the ability to stack units which really just made battles harder to manage and judge.
One conceit I'll have to make is the music, which doesn't hold a candle to Civ IV's.

Don't really know why but once I started a game i cannot ever stop. It's not even the story that is great, i guess the game is just genius

Have you ever woken up in the morning and decided that you want to do absolutely nothing all day and yet be dreadfully enthralled? Just start a game of Civ 5 on the quickest settings! 12 hours later when America, China and inexplicably the Aztecs have finally teamed up against you just to murder you in cold blood you can count your day as mildly successful. Oh also its pretty fun.

This is the best CIV game created so far! Even though many people dislike how it diverged from CIV4, I find that it has so much more depth to offer, using simpler game mechanics.

Just one more turn before i go to bed... Oh! it's morning already.

I like this chapter in the Civ series because I was finally able to figure out the game and develop a winning strategy without (much) help from civfanatics.com. I still get "one more turn" syndrome while playing.

It's a fun turn-based strategy game that lets you build your civilization as one of the many well known rulers in time.

I love to play games where you build your own empire. Played this one for 3 hours last night.

Now that it's being patched, it's one of the best games out there. A great addition to the best video game series.

Engrossing gameplay.

Great turn-based strategy game. A must play in computer games.

Latest update to an amazing turn based strategy game. One unit per tile on hexes adds strategy and actually makes it less tedious at the same time. The city states are also a really fun addition.
Cons: Initial release was very buggy and still has problems over a month later. But they are fixing a lot of the issues. Many of the changes take getting used to and some say it feels slower than Civ4.

(will update once I play more) - love the new hex-based combat. Much more thought required. Awesome modding tools for custom game play options.
Cons: Culture and religion are of less importance compared to IV. This could bug me, but we'll see. This game will test the limits of my gf's love for me.
