Time for a PC Game Review #2
Kyttie | 11:24 PM on 10.21.2007 31 comments


DToid tends to lean more towards the Console games, but I honestly prefer PC games :) so I'm gonna give a couple reviews on some of my favorite all time PC Games :P

#2. Civilizations IV

If you like history, if you like stratagy, if you like economics, if you like warfare, this is a great game for you. Although sadly my computer can only handle it on its' 'low' graphical setting, I still don't think the graphics would have been all that great even on high res, BUT, this game doesn't need them in my opinion.



Civilizations IV gives you a perfect mix of the 4 things I mentioned previously (History, Stratagy, Economics, and Warfare). In this one (like in all the civilizations games) you start small, with the ability to make one city, but really they did a great job with this one. honostly I can't compare it to Civilizations III as I didn't bother to play it, but it's HELLA better then Civilizations II, hehe.

Although watch out, this is definitely a game meant for you to sit and play for HOURS ON END, the first time I played it... I died (lol), the 2nd time, I was playing it for about 8+ hours straight, and I wasn't even done with the game. It is TERRIBLY addictive, so if you have trouble quitting Crack, then you may want to be careful with Civilizations IV.

There's also a multiplayer option that (of course) I havn't been able to explore thanks to my weak computer, but honostly I would expect that to be BADASS.

I would give this game an 8.5/10, but definitely worth the purchase (or download ;) hehe)

In before Whiteboy!

Civ3 is one of those games that I've always meant to acquire, but never cared enough to actually do so when the opportunities arose.

Maybe some day.
Kyttie's Destructoid Blog
just jump to Civ IV xD no point in bothering with 3 at this point :)
Tino's Destructoid Blog
But on a serious note...

I couldn't get into the Civ games. They are so ridiculously in depth and micromanagement is not my thing. I do hear the games are damn good though.

Whats Flyff?
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
I have been meaning to play Civ IV for some time. I only have Civ II, so I guess I am missing out on a ton of great gaming, aren't I?
Pixelated Lilac's Destructoid Blog
I'm gonna agree with TheMartino, Civ has always been over my head. I heard that you go from like.. caveman times into the near future which is insane.. but once again that's all I've really hard about it.
CCGames Mike's Destructoid Blog
i've wanted to try out Civ one of these days. Luckily I'll get a chance if the console verion coming for PS3/360 turns out to be awesome =D
Hoygeit's Destructoid Blog
Civ 4 was so awesome.

I think one of the best improvements it brought to the series was that siege weapons could do collateral damage to units in the same stack. Removing (or at least deterring) the singe stack of doom tactic that had been so prevalent in the previous entries.

I'm convinced Gandhi hated me though.

Now I need to reinstall the game.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
@Hoygeit:

You got Gandhi to hate you? Damn! What'd you do to him?
Clockwork's Destructoid Blog
Hey! My mother is addicted to crack!

"Gandhi adopts slavery. Gandhi declares war on you."

Kyttie's Destructoid Blog

CaffeinePowered's Destructoid Blog
Civ games are always a blast, every one of em :)
AzNheadbanger's Destructoid Blog
Civ is awesome!! Good review.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
LOL @ the Gandhi line... that's what makes games like the Civ series so great. I made Lincoln into a Communist dictator not unlike Stalin. XD
MaGiggle's Destructoid Blog

superNinja's Destructoid Blog

I applaud you all!
VWGTI's Destructoid Blog
YES, Kyttie!

I love this game. I know a lot of people think it's overly complicated, but I think it caters to your play style. Check this game out.
Cowboy TTop's Destructoid Blog
The Civ games are damn good, but just like the other sim games, you need a lot of time to invest in it.

Look out for the Wii version next year.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Hey thanks for the review, sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. Hopefully one day I'll find the time for this game and other like it. Great blog Kyttie
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Crush my spirit all right, you fucking assholes can't take a joke. I'm not ruining her blog this times, and I think am in fact now done with this site. I like the front page content, but the CBLOGs are full of miserable fucking bastards with no sense of humor. You're not funny, your fucking nasty people with serious attitude problems and what appears to be a real anti-social slant. So apologies to Kyttie and of course the editors, who are great, but fuck the rest of you. I dont know if I'm gonna bother with this shit anymore, so you may not see me again, im not sure. either way, grow up guys. there is no reason to flame people if they haven't flamed you. Just because you don't agree with someone. Fucking babies
tazarthayoot's Destructoid Blog
Suck it up cupcake. This is Dtoid.
Corncobtacular's Destructoid Blog
I fucking love civilization, but it keeps crashing my PC whenever i start to get far into the game. Partially b/c i refuse to put it on the lower setting, but i shouldn't have to since i exceed all of the "recommended" hardware.
Tino's Destructoid Blog
Whiteboy you brought this upon yourself. Do you see people flaming each other like they flame you on a regular basis? Nope.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Guys, please don't comment on this in Kyttie's blog. I still haven't decided if I want to remain active on DToid, because I still love the sight, but I really haven't done much wrong. I blog about my life, i get flamed. i blog about games, i get flamed. but again, no more comments about me on here, I don't want to ruin her blog.
Tino's Destructoid Blog
Okay whiteboy. I'm done man.

And I really liked your first three blogs. Bout the Halo girl and your wife. Just throwin that out there.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Thanks for the support, I thought they were good myself. But we should really be commenting on Kyttie's blog. It's a good review of a supposed good game, and I will definitely be trying civilization out in the future
Tino's Destructoid Blog
I put in my 2 cents all ready. Heh.

 about me



Favorite games include: most strategy games, but honestly I'll try anything, so I end up with a nice mix of games, like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Halo 2, Civilizations 4, WarCraft 2 (TWO, not 3, and Don't even talk to me about W.O.W. or you shall die a horrible death) and many many others.

Avg Weekly GameTime: 30+ hours

I play console and PC games, but sadly havn't gotten around to getting an XBox360, or a PS3.

now that the IMPOTANT stuff is out of the way xD I'm a 19 yr old Female, living in a Hell Hole state that I can't wait to get out of and go back home (to Missouri), this Hell Hole goes by the Name of Houston, Tx. But don't be fooled by the English name it has, this city was forged in the fires of Mt. Doom by Sauron himself.

I'm pretty much your avg. nerd.. except on a couple traits, but we don't need to get into those.. and to prove it, I have (havn't played her in a long while though) a lvl 74 Silvan/Drow (I can give you the very... interesting back story to that if you understand why that's ridiculous) xD


Potius mori quam foedari
(Rather to die than to be dishonoured)

oh ya...

me xD
