Civilization V Game of the Year ed. due out this month

For those who have passed on Civilization V‘s frequent downloadable content packs, the newly-announced Game of the Year Edition might be of interest. It’s launching on September 27 for PC, and includes the game itself plus add-ons in one $49.99 package:

• Civilization and Scenario Pack: The Mongols;
• Civilization Pack: Babylon;
• Cradle of Civilization Map Packs: Mesopotamia, Americas, Asia and Mediterranean;
• Double Civilization and Scenario Pack: Spain and Inca;
• Civilization and Scenario Pack: Polynesia;
• Civilization and Scenario Pack: Denmark – The Vikings;
• Explorer’s Map Pack;
• Sid Meier’s Civilization V digital soundtrack.

Granted, Civ V can be obtained for $29.99 as a standalone purchase. So there’s not a huge incentive to go for this definitive bundle unless you’re actually into the extras.
