Civilization IV: The Complete Edition due in one week
Okay armchair strategists, the wait's just about over ... if you've somehow managed to go since 2005 without playing the (current) pinnacle of Sid Meier's Civ series. Civilization IV: The Complete Edition is utter world domination in a box. The violence is whimsical but the stakes are real, and The Complete Edition packs every expansion into one neatly-priced package for $39.99 (every dollar of it DRM-free). It'll contain the baseline Civilization IV (GamingNexus grade A), of course, then lob heads with the Warlords expansion, go back to the future in Beyond the Sword (GamingNexus grade A-), plus it drops in the standalone Civilization IV: Colonization (the remake of Sid Meier's 1994 Colonization, utilizing the Civ IV engine).
May 12, 2009, is the date you're looking for. If this one's been in your backlog, it's time to check it off. Or if you've curbed your enthusiasm for the expansions, thinking that Civ IV vanilla was good and plenty, now's a good time to reconsider. Heck, I paid $39.99 for Colonization only, like, four months ago, so The Complete Edition already pays for itself the second you install even that one.
