I remember playing Civ in high school on my old Tandy 486 back in the early 90's so yeah, the series is older than some of the people I work with (yikes!). The newest version looks to be another absolute classic, streamlined and taken back to its roots as a strategy game and not Empire Tycoon Simulator Deluxe.
Gone are the squares and stacks of doom, meet single units per hex like tabletop wargames, and man I dig that. It's far more tactical and quicker, too. Don't worry, Civ veterans...there's still plenty of city management and specialization to be had, but there's far less boring logistical crap to have to mess with.
Metacritic has your list of Civ V reviews for you to peruse, but this one's already pre-loaded off Steam and ready to go once I get home.
One more unto the breach, dear friends...
