Also, it has boobies. Civilization has always been my all-time favorite franchise and this fourth version is the best yet. It manages to reinvent the basic mechanics and interface while also retaining the basic concepts that made the series so enjoyable to begin with.
Add in a terrific multiplayer interface and Civ 4 is easily the best game I've played this year. Other Notables: In addition to those ten great games, there was plenty of other stuff that occupied a good part of my time.
While both titles were a little too heavy for a casual session at odd moments, they were damned enjoyable during those moments when I could really dig in. Shooters like Call of Duty 2 provided some old school fun while F. Rome: Total War - Barbarian Invasion helped to prolong my love of Creative Assembly's massive real-time strategy game.
Though none of the 's games have managed to make their way into my top ten, I've been enjoying the overall presentation of King Kong and the non-stop action of Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
Tom's Favorites in CoV is a friendly game, and base building adds more flavor to the soup. You can build great and small, with little helpful gadgets -- but bases can also be invaded by other players, so you can do cool James Bond-like things such as laser beam turrets and minefields. But it's still one of the best RPGs I've ever played on any platform.

It is the shame of its shallow, opportunist brethren, and its genius trickles down to us in rivulets of pure happiness that will soon be categorized as a Schedule II controlled substance by the FDA.
Play it in the dark, play it alone, and slap those headphones on. Sure, there aren't a lot of different locations. I suppose they should have had a disco or floating castle populated by fur-covered dwarves singing Ave Maria. And she has that musty "old people" smell anyway. And it also has the familiar swelling orchestras, people shouting, and lots and lots of gunfire and explosions. Multiplayer is also quite fun, with lots of distinctly different modes.
And with regenerating health, you'll have some real John Woo moments, only without the flying doves or Massive Attack rumbling along in the background. The combat mechanics are smooth and intuitive with satisfying feedback, and Rockstar's penchant for open-endedness is in full effect. I don't recommend the Xbox version though, because the buttons aren't set up as well as they are on a PS2 controller.
Yeah, I went there. You can actually shoot people and take a bullet like a man. And since they're already working on the sequel, I can find out what Franz said to Schopenhauer in Prague after Bellino was found floating in the Seine, a job traced back to Igenwald, who cost the Italian police commissioner his bid for the stolen briefcase in that train station locker in Oslo.
If you're tired of the usual gameplay limitations, I say give Mercenaries a spin. The game is so big that wandering around and getting lost is the most fun I've had since that time we went joyriding in Dan's car down to Tijuana. Sorry about the bloodstains in the trunk, Dan! But for some reason, this fourth version is insanely addictive. It benefits from a more robust diplomatic system, a graphical overhaul, balanced combat, Leonard Nimoy, an emphasis on culture, better empire management, and more.
