We are already massive fans of Civilization IV Gold (check out our review) now Aspyr tempt us to expand further with Beyond the Sword. Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword focuses on the late-game time periods and delivers 12 challenging and decidedly different scenarios created by the development team at Firaxis Games.
I was thinking back to this time last year, the stress of the O2 upgrade process over at about 10am the iPhone 3G would arrive on the doorstep despite being told my upgrade hadn’t been processed. I was happy, the Apps Store was open and MobileMe was in the throes of an upgrade….
Holidays are generally sumonimous with airports and aeroplanes and this year’s holiday is no different. This year though instead of flying I am addictively controlling in the form of the brilliant iPhone/iPod Touch game ‘Flight Control’.
I’m definitely no stranger to connecting a guitar to a Mac for some Garageband recording but Aspyr software have come up with a guitar system that completely transforms my playing to a whole new level.
We have been fans of the Guitar Hero & Rockband games for a while but finally they have arrived for the UK Mac market in harmony with one of the biggest rock bands of the last thirty years.
Gaming has improved significantly for Mac thanks for companies like Aspyr. Last year we reviewed Call of Duty 4 for Mac that dominated the first person shooter market for most of the year, now it is the turn of the strategy game to invade Leopard.
I have always been a massive fan of world domination but to date it has been reserved to the screen of my computer. Command and Conquer, Civilization etc offer King like leadership from your very own desk. I have been playing Civilization IV Gold (Warlords) for the last four days and I am hooked !
We love our computer games but these days most of our gaming takes place on the Xbox 360 and more recently Mac but growing up a number of PC ignited the industry one such title was Wolfenstein 3D. Wolfenstein was epic, one of the first 3d first person shooters it had it all, sprawling mazes to navigate, a range of enemies and even enemy killer dogs.
I was clearing out some junk from a box a few weeks a go and discovered an old five and quarter inch disk on which was written ‘imogen’. I knew the disk was from my old BBC computer from the 1980s but I couldn’t remember just what Imogen was until today. Imogen was a game I used to love, a distraction from GCSE computer studies and BBC Basic.
I can remember considering Imogen as a game of it’s time, a dramatic increase in the quality of gameplay and graphics.
