Well that certainly makes my choice between buying it or MGS4 easier.

[stokeriño]

Well in the UK at least, GAME.co.uk are still saying 13th June, so I'm still destined to receive MGS4, Civ R and FF7: Crisis Core within a week of each other, god damn it. ¬_¬

Some demo details

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/news/show_bl...newstop;title;4

As for the demo's contents, players will be able to assume either Caesar's laurel wreath as the head of Rome or Cleopatra's crook and flail as Egypt's pharaoh. Players can either play against the game's computer-controlled opponents up to 1250 AD or head online to battle it out with human opponents over the same time period. The demo also comes packed with a tutorial for those unfamiliar with Civilization's turn-based gameplay.

That's pretty cool, especially that it has multiplayer in the demo. I have to wonder what install times for it on the PS3 will be like.

Rawr! Stupid game being pushed back!

....but yay demo. I'll download that soon.

[Clawson]

Is the demo today or next Thursday? I got all excited and ran downstairs to download it but it wasn't there.

[Guest Kou]

Big file, downloaded about half of it, when I get off work tonight I'll get the rest and then I shall tell you my opinion! And hopefully play with one of you.

[King Ellis]

[Ruki]

I WANNA PLAY IT DAMMIT! STOP TAUNTING ME!

[oldskool]

Oh look at that, my demo download finished. I should go look at th....naaaaaaaah.

Fucking Playstation Store in North America hasn't updated yet.

[Ruki]

You are a prick Oldskool, and I will destroy you!

[Fitzy]

I played it and found Egypt and formed an alliance with Cleopatra and then during my last few turns I attacked Cleopatra and got destroyed and the game ended.

Ghandi is a Hitler.

[King Ellis]

I kept encountering NGH's but decided to play nice and sell them my techology.

[MalaCloudy Black]

US PlayStation Store finally got updated. Civ Rev demo's out, downloading it now.

EDIT: Civ Rev is like crack. Hopefully with the full game it won't be that easy to advance so much though.. would seem a bit silly but I dunno. I've only played Civ II and I got so caught up in it that I started at 2AM playing a long game and didn't finish until around 7AM. >_>

Downloading

I've never played any of the previous games, any pointers?

[Ruki]

....I was very disappointed. It'll be worth a rental, and that is all. To me at least.
