Can get this for £21 from GMG, do I, don't I??? :confused:

Haven't played a game like this for years, but always enjoyed them in the past?

This is one game where I actually have no cares about review scores. From what I've read it seems we are at patched Civ V levels with spies and the equivalent religion from Gods and Kings.

I have a feeling it won't score particularly well, but yeah I don't care either way, installed and waiting to go!

How can you get it for £21? I can only get it for £24

They sent me a 30% off code :cool:

[Edit: I may offer it away in the Give Away forum above this one? Not sure yet?]

LukieBoy007 · 22 Oct 2014 at 21:22

£24 it is then

Space Monkey · 23 Oct 2014 at 03:04

I've now decided to give the code away in the PC Codes GiveAway sub forum, details here: LINK.....

First 'review' from a site I've never heard of and written by what I presume is a junior. Doesn't really go into any detail at all.

It sounds 'okay', nothing spectacular and comes across as a Civ 5 re-skin/addon. I will no doubt purchase it at some point but I think I'll hold off for a bit.

Received a 30% off code from GMG, pre ordered instantly

I don't trust anything that IGN says, especially after the Alien review

The latest (22/10) GeForce 344.48 WHQL drivers are game ready for this:

Likewise, their Alien review score was so far from my own evaluation of the game that had I made my Alien purchase based on their review I would have missed out on one of my games of the year. Certainly not going to pay IGN any heed on anything again.

Not long left for a chance to get a 30% discount code?

Can't say I'm worried about FPS in this game lol.
