Yes, I have realised that I post far to many videos...this is the effect of the holiday season- having no time to write and all the time to look for expensive gifts to ask 'Santa' for. What's at the top of the list? Well, I'm glad I asked myself. Civilization 4 was one of the greatest gifts I ever received; it was one of those that when opened, I immediately download it onto my computer. The best part was that my parents couldn't really complain, it's a history and strategy game after all.
It had three great things going for it: the graphics were one of the best parts because they were so life like for '05. It was a beautiful game and one of the best parts of playing it was building the world wonders and going into the funky mirage and watch it be built in like- ten seconds. A ten second pyramid. Another was the fighting, which was just to much fun. You'd build your little warriors and archers and cavalry and if you made it into the twenty-first century you'd get these super cool tanks. I'd stack twenty Calvary on top of one another and a war elephant for good measure before going on to siege the great cities of Boston or Cairo. I'm proud to say that I totally destroyed both Genghis Khan and George Washington. Take that world leaders! I beat your digital dust! Third, but probably my favorite- after you discovered a new technology, Lenard Nimoy would read a famous quote and then there'd be a ding noise. It was so cool- like he was in the room giving me Vulcan logic.
Yep...good times. Now that I'm no longer ten years old I'm ready for the big leagues. Civ5 was just released and I'm too excited not to watch countless hours of YouTube coverage of sloppy recordings of nerds first Civ5 games on their Mac books. Did that make sense? I don't know.
Here's on of the better reviews- kinda long, and if you don't want to watch then skip to the very end to see the incredible graphics. In '05 someone could have mistaken that for a fraking photo.
