I DL'd the demo and can't stop playing, it ends too soon! I want to get the game but I fear it will just destroy my grades :(

It's one of GoGamer's "48 Hour Madness" deals. They're selling it for $34.90.

Civilization and studying do not mix. Take it from someone who has done a lot of both.

Did you get Alien Crossfire?

Alpha Centuari with Alien Crossfire was awesome! I was sad to see some of the ideas did not carry over into Civ3. However, a bit of the unit customization idea has carried into Civ4, though done differently. All of them are addictive. :)

I just started playing it...this is the first Civ game I've played. It's not that great.

Choose your words carefully.

QFT, Alpha Centauri is great. I never liked the Civilization games however, and the Alien Crossfire expansion kind of screwed up the balanced system that was there before. Aki-Zeta 5 is way too strong.

I tried Civ4 for a day, spent about 6hrs total playing that day. The next day I had to delete the game because I knew i'd be way too addicted to it :) I'll reinstall it again after the semester ends hehe.

Hmm I've been really bored lately with no games to play...I'm waiting for Scrolls IV, but I might look into Civ until then.
