Civilization V

Not had a lot of time to get into this yet, due to being busy and trying to catch up on the Sanitarium community playthrough, but from what I have played, I like it!

Takes a bit of a while to get used to the hexagonal tiles but it looks good and plays well. Once again things look like they've changed enough to present new challenges, with only one unit per tile and the happyness system that I haven't really worked out yet, whilst keeping the basic game mechanics which make this series great. This iteration seems to be a little bit more combat focused than the last two, although science, diplomacy etc. still play their important parts.

Now Gray Matter has been delayed again, I look forward to investing far too much time into this game over the coming weeks/months!

If you really like the series you probably already have it, but I would recommend it to anyone who likes stratergy/world building games.
