WARNING: This post violates the rules.

I know I’ve done some major rule breaking on this site recently, but there’s been a lot of fun CivRev stuff to talk about. To that, I’d like to add today’s NYTimes review by Seth Schiesel, which is pretty favorable. Here’s an excerpt:

…Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution is an almost complete triumph. Melding formidable intellectual depth with an unintimidating, relatively easy-to-grasp graphical presentation, the new Civilization is by far the best strategy game to grace a living room console. This is a console game that history and social studies teachers should encourage their students to enjoy. This is a game that parents should want to play with their children. And this is a game that will then incite some parents to send their kids to bed so the old folks don’t have to share.

Needless to say, I agree.
