So he finally decided to do what I told him at Origins a few years ago during an autograph session he was giving

Colonization was one of my all time favorites.

Maybe some of you know already but to me it was news until yesterday. Sid Meier work on a new Colonization!



I thought Sid was finally a console convert given Civilization Revolution.

I have to admit the thought of playing a new Civ game on a 1080p PS3 Blu-Ray Disk is a cool thought, especially on a monster TV screen.

I only hope it lives up to the hype. Only a few weeks I think till release? It will probably make or break the future for any more super high budget Console Strategy Games...

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21063.html

But more on topic I welcome anything that plays differently than Civ. Just getting bored with what so far is still basically the same game over and over. So a new Colonization would be nice.. but wonder if there will be a console connection like the latest Civ Game...

Thing is not everyone is well off enough to pay 2-3K for a Monster TV and More for the blu ray player etc...

To target your wish would probably require the game cost $500 each

This is one of the games I definitely plan to purchase when it is released.

Me, too, and I have hoped for a good sequel.

I dunno. It's a Civ IV game. I have despised them all since Civ II. I'm waitin' fer awhile.
