Civilization IV

Anyway, after NBA Live 06, before the end of the month, I'll probably be moving on to another game that I am already eager to buy (original, even). That game is Sid Meier's Civilization IV.

The entire series is based on a simple enough idea: guide a tribe, and grow an empire across thousands of years of rewritten history. It's turn-based, which means that it plays like a chess game, you don't win because of speed but rather planning and placement. If had to stay in my room for weeks with only food and access to a bathroom, I could play this and The Sims 2 all day and all night.

This game is so great, that I could still play the original 1990 version and not be bored by it. How many games are timeless like that?

I like the newer Sim City games, especially the most recent, SC4, that can connect lots of cities into one big region.
