Sid Meier is the guy behind brilliant games like Civilization and Pirates. I am a big fan of both games (even though I hardly play them anymore, a game of Civ IV takes up quite a bit of time) so I found this recent interview very interesting. It’s over at gamersglobal.com.
A Sid Meier MMO sounds very interesting, he would probably come up with something very original and new ;).
The new civilization IV: Beyond the sword expansion is coming soon. In preparation I played a few games of Civ IV warlords again and I must say, it’s still very good. Beyond the swords will add a lot of nice new features. Especially the corporations and improved new AI sounds good. I preordered my copy from gameplay.co.uk, and it’s usually delivered around the official release date.
Civfanatics – Excellent site with a load of information and a great forum
