Civilization IV

"The bottom line is that what we have here is a rock solid game..."

"...it’s good. Damn good. In fact, I’ll certainly go as far as saying it’s the best pure strategy game I’ve played this year, and that’s good enough for me."

"Civ IV isn’t quite light enough to captivate all gamers, but it is the most fun, most engaging, and most entertaining of the series."

"If you have even a passing interest in strategy games, world history, or getting less sleep at night, you owe it to yourself to give Civilization IV a try."

"You’re truly in charge, even if that means you decide to build one city and just really beef it up. Of course, you’re a dumbass if you do. More cities mean more resources and trade routes, more settlers and workers and soldiers and technological advancements. They mean you can be the one that builds the Parthenon. Do you see how it goes?"
